Legal Notice & Pre-Litigation Services
Official Notifications to Romanian Companies — for International Creditors and Business Partners
Legal Notice & Pre-Litigation Services is a digital legal solution designed for foreign creditors, investors, and commercial partners who need to formally notify companies or business counterparts registered in Romania.
International Legal Notices with Procedural Effect under Romanian and EU Law For cross-border disputes, international contractual conflicts, and enforcement actions against Romanian companies. The service includes:
– Bilingual notices drafted by a PIL attorney (RO–EN);
– Determining the competent jurisdiction (Brussels I bis / international conventions);
– Identifying the applicable law for the breached obligation;
– Delivery through channels with evidentiary value: attorney, process server, registered mail with return receipt;
– Official proof of service – admissible before courts;
– Optional: invitation to international mediation.
The service ensures that all notifications and pre-litigation communications are drafted, signed, and transmitted in accordance with Romanian procedural law, fully valid before Romanian courts.
Under Romanian law, a prior formal notice (notification) is mandatory before initiating a court claim for recovery of debt or contractual breach.
Without it, the court may dismiss the case as premature.
We provide two distinct levels of service — depending on your objective and the stage of the dispute.
Digital Legal Notice (Client-Delivered Version)
This option is designed for companies that wish to notify their Romanian counterpart directly, without formal representation, while ensuring that the content of the message is legally accurate and compliant.
Under this service:
- Our firm drafts the official legal noticein Romanian (and optionally in English), following all pre-litigation requirements under Romanian law;
- The document is provided unsigned by lawyers, allowing your company to issue and sign it under its own name;
- You may then send it by email, post, or any other preferred channel, using your company’s letterhead.
You will receive:
- A professionally drafted legal notice, ready for signing and dispatch;
Optional bilingual version (Romanian / English) for cross-border clarity.

Under this service:
- Our firm drafts the official legal noticein Romanian (and optionally in English), following all pre-litigation requirements under Romanian law;

You will receive:
- A professionally drafted legal notice, ready for signing and dispatch;
Optional bilingual version (Romanian / English) for cross-border clarity.
Purpose:
This version demonstrates your company’s good faith and compliance with Romanian pre-litigation obligations, serving as a commercial-level notification and a strong preliminary step before legal escalation.
Proof of delivery:
Since the notice is transmitted directly by your company, the only available evidence will be your email delivery record or correspondence log.
Such proof may support future negotiations but is not sufficient on its own for court proceedings.
Recommendation:
If you consider that the case may lead to court litigation in Romania, the Official Legal Notice (Pre-Litigation) service is the correct procedural option.
Official Legal Notice (Pre-Litigation Notice)
This is the formal, attorney-signed notification that fulfills the procedural requirement before filing any legal action in Romania.
Under this service:
- The notice is drafted, signed, and transmittedby a Romanian attorney, in full compliance with national procedural law;
- It includes all mandatory legal elements (claim, deadline, sanctions);
- It is delivered through an official legal channel— attorney, procedural agent, or registered post — with acknowledgment of receipt;
- The client receives the final PDF packageand the official proof of delivery, which can be submitted as admissible evidence before court.
Purpose:
This service ensures that your company’s claim is procedurally valid, protecting your right to file a lawsuit if the debtor fails to comply.
In short:
Only the Pre-Litigation Notice, transmitted through a legal channel and accompanied by proof of receipt, is recognized as formal procedural evidence by Romanian courts.
Deliverables
This service bridges the gap between international business standards and Romanian procedural law.
We provide companies worldwide with a reliable and legally recognized method to:
- Notify Romanian debtors
- Enforce contractual rights
- Establish procedural proof prior to court action
Each client receives a Legal Notice File, including:
- The drafted legal notice (in Romanian / English)
- Or, for Official Notices – the signed document, delivery confirmation, and procedural compliance summary;

All materials are provided in secure PDF format, ready for internal use or submission to court if applicable. A properly structured notification serves as:
- Compliance with themandatory pre-litigation requirement in Romania;
- Evidence of amicable settlement attempts for future litigation;
- Protection of contractual and reputational interests;
- A preventive measure that often leads to voluntary payment or negotiation without court intervention.
