Entering the Romanian market?Know before you sign.

The problem
Most lease mistakes are made before the ink dries.
An indexation clause that compounds a few percent each year. A catchment area read on assumptions rather than data. A landlord whose leverage was misjudged from the first meeting. These are not exotic problems — they are the ordinary mistakes that quietly cost retailers hundreds of thousands of euros over the life of a contract.
The decisive work happens earlier — before signature, before commitment, before the leverage shifts. Our role is to ensure that nothing material is left unread, unmodelled, or assumed.
Who this is for
Built for businesses entering Romania.
International retailers, franchise operators, F&B groups, and service businesses expanding into the Romanian market for the first time.
What we do
One engagement.
Complete clarity.
LD Advisory provides a single, structured due diligence engagement covering the elements that determine whether a Romanian lease will support the business case it was signed for.
We surface the risks that matter, quantify them where possible, and translate them into a negotiation position you can actually use. The output is a single report — concise, evidence-based, and written for a decision-maker.
Why LD Advisory
Local expertise.
International standards.
The team behind LD Advisory has spent years inside expansion functions of major Romanian and international retailers — selecting sites, signing leases, and managing the consequences. The work is grounded in legal expertise in Romanian commercial real estate and direct experience negotiating with the country's largest landlords and developers.
That combination matters. Romanian landlords negotiate differently than their Western European counterparts. Catchment data behaves differently. Standard-form clauses carry asymmetries that are obvious to those who have lived inside them and invisible to those who have not.
