Capital Markets

Our expertise ranges from the simple (plain vanilla) bond issue to green bonds and structured equity products and we offer a full range of equity and debt capital markets services.

Our lawyers have been involved in many of the most significant transactions in the Romanian market and our team is capable of undertaking complex transactions with a practical, market-oriented approach. We provide issuers, offerors, global coordinators, underwriters and placement banks with guidance on:

Equity

  • Flotations;
  • Takeovers and complex transactions involving listed companies;
  • Employee stock options;
  • Corporate governance, codes of conduct and transparency and reporting obligations.

Debt

  • Simple, convertible and exchangeable bond issues;
  • Green and sustainable bonds;
  • Bank bonds, including regulatory capital bank bonds (MRELs and Tier 2 Bonds);
  • Sovereign bonds.

We also frequently render regulatory advice on a series of capital markets issues and our lawyers enjoy excellent working relationships with the Romanian capital markets regulators – the Romanian Financial Supervisory Authority, the Bucharest Stock Exchange and the Central Depository.
