Secu Legal® is a Romanian law firm specialising in real estate law.
The legal services we provide to our clients focus primarily on real estate transactions in the broad sense (including preliminary legal analyses), real estate developments (including construction contracts), litigation and advisory services in urban planning and permitting matters (including the regularisation of buildings constructed without a permit or in breach of a building permit, as well as the annulment of building permits and urban planning documentation), real estate project financing, leases, concessions, expropriations, property claims, land registry actions, and more.
We serve all categories of players in the real estate market: sellers and buyers, tenants and landlords, contractors and investors, consultants — including brokers — and beneficiaries, litigants and public authorities, and financiers.
Secu Legal® was founded in January 2020 by Andreea Secu, a member of the Bucharest Bar since 2010, with a solid background in real estate law built from her very first steps at some of Romania's largest law firms, recognised for excellence in real estate practice.
Above all else comes our thorough professional preparation — the foundation on which we steadily build all the other strengths we take pride in.
Experience and specialisation in real estate law are the strengths we put to work for our clients, building coherent, long-term viable strategies alongside them, step by step. We know the Romanian real estate market in detail and have hands-on experience working with public authorities, which helps us respond to the concrete needs of those active in this field and capitalise on the right opportunities as they arise.
We assist clients promptly and directly, with refined yet clear legal solutions. We prioritise the client’s needs and understand that efficiently delivered solutions give the client a competitive edge.
We know how important it is for a lawyer to play a proactive role in the client relationship, and we support our clients in identifying opportunities and solutions that serve them over the long term. We provide legal services grounded in reality — efficient and professional — with a focus on solutions.
We understand clients’ need for predictability when it comes to the cost of legal services. Thanks to our experience, we anticipate the volume and complexity of legal work within our area of expertise and can accurately estimate fees in advance.
Nota bene: Some terms used on this website referring to legal concepts may be considered imprecise relative to their strictly legal terminology.
We do so — at the risk of criticism from more pedantic colleagues — for the sake of simplicity and accessibility, and because we want to remain grounded in market reality. For example, the forms in which the legal profession is practised are generically referred to as “law firms”; “real estate law” does not exist as a branch of law studied at university, but it does exist as a branch of legal services and is more widely known by its English equivalent — real estate.
