Key experts
Why Wolf Theiss Bucharest
The Bucharest office offers customised legal solutions and a business-oriented approach to grow your business. Our clients enjoy the benefits of local expertise combined with the resources of our wider regional network.
“Respected regional player that draws upon its CEE network to advise on multi-jurisdictional M&A transactions, as well as acting alongside international law firms on the local law aspects of transactions. Earns particular praise for in-house knowledge of the underlying regulatory issues in energy and pharmaceutical sector transactions. Offers additional expertise in setting up joint ventures and advising on transfers of business. Also assists selling shareholders with domestic transactions.”
– Chambers Global
“The team is very motivated to address its client’s needs in a most appropriate and efficient manner. They are always running the extra mile for the client and are very commercially and deal oriented which greatly facilitates the transaction and closing process. They are very responsive and well prepared to quickly address complex matters.”
“A very solid team of talented and well-trained lawyers with the local knowledge essential for sensibly managing litigation in Romania but also very user-friendly for US clients, especially as the office is headed by a US lawyer who has lived and Romania for decades.”
– The Legal 500
“Blending a unique combination of legal skill, market knowledge and a strategic, commercial approach to resolving legal challenges, the Wolf Theiss Bucharest office sets the highest standards for those clients seeking a true partner and trusted advisor in Romania.”
– Bryan Jardine, Bucharest Managing Partner
“Sources praise the service offered by the team, highlighting its “commitment to the client, delivering on time and working actively on solutions for the client’s benefit.”
Another interviewee appreciates the lawyers’ strong communication, noting: “They were clear in what they needed and what we should deliver or ask for. They really guided us through the process.” The source adds: “We don’t have to ask for everything, and they are proactively involved.””
– Chambers Europe
“The team was very helpful at setting forth what we needed to do both to engage employees in Romania and to maintain the employment relationship. Many things, such as the need to have an employee handbook and what to expect from labour authorities, were not obvious to us as foreigners. We really felt like they did more than just execute the task of preparing labour agreements. They helped us understand the Romanian environment and positioned us to deal with its challenges well.”
– The Legal 500

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability. To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more. This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs. Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments. If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following emailScreen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:- Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
- Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported in our website
- Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
- Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
- Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
- ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
- Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
