In July 2025, the Romania Office of Guozun Law Firm (hereinafter referred to as “Guozun Law Firm”) was officially inaugurated in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. As an important measure in Guozun Law Firm’s global strategic layout, the formal operation of this office marks the key implementation of Guozun Law Firm’s legal service network in Central and Eastern Europe, and also builds a professional and efficient legal service bridge for cross-border cooperation and economic and trade exchanges between Chinese and Romanian enterprises, helping deepen bilateral legal and commercial exchanges between China and Romania.
I. Principal Qualifications: Global Layout and Core Positioning
Since its establishment in 2021, Guozun Law Firm has consistently adhered to an international development strategy and has deeply cultivated the field of commercial legal services. It has built a mature service network covering 113 overseas offices in 106 countries and regions around the world and has gathered more than 2,000 domestic and overseas professional lawyers with international qualifications. The quality of its services has been recognized by international authoritative legal rating institutions such as Chambers, ALB, and China Business Law Journal, giving it clear industry authority.
The establishment of the Guozun Romania Office is an important extension of Guozun Law Firm’s globalization strategy. It is not a blind expansion, but is based on the actual needs of bilateral economic and trade cooperation between China and Romania, the market gap in legal services in Central and Eastern Europe, and Guozun’s own years of accumulated experience in cross-border legal services. It has realized the key implementation of its legal service network in Central and Eastern Europe and has become an official service hub for bilateral legal cooperation and commercial exchange between China and Romania. The office is located in the core business district of Bucharest, possesses lawful and compliant operating qualifications, and relies on the resources of Guozun’s global headquarters to form an authoritative service pattern of “global linkage, deep local cultivation.”

Relying on Guozun Law Firm’s rich experience over many years in serving Chinese-funded enterprises “going out,” and combining this with deep cultivation of the local market, the team is able to accurately respond to various legal challenges in bilateral cooperation between China and Romania. Whether it is the approval procedures for Chinese-funded enterprises investing in Romania, the compliance requirements for Romanian enterprises cooperating with China, or the localized handling of cross-border disputes, the office has mature practical solutions, breaking through the legal barriers and communication obstacles in cross-border cooperation and demonstrating solid service experience.
