Moldovan lawyer for clients in the United Kingdom

My starting point is straightforward: I help clients from any country. This page speaks to people in the United Kingdom because that is how many of them search, not because I work only with that community. A Moldovan settled in London, a British citizen who inherited property in Moldova, an entrepreneur opening a company in Chișinău — all are welcome on the same terms.

I am an attorney with 15 years of practice and a Master of Laws from the State University of Moldova (USM). From 2006 to 2011 I served as a state consumer-protection specialist. I work in Romanian, Russian and English, so communication is comfortable whichever language you prefer.

Most matters in Moldova can be handled without you leaving the UK. The key is a power of attorney (procură) authorizing me to act on your behalf before Moldovan authorities, notaries and courts.

The power of attorney can be signed in two ways: before a notary in the United Kingdom followed by an apostille (both the UK and Moldova are parties to the 1961 Hague Convention), or free of charge at a Moldovan consular section in the UK. To get started, I accept scanned documents by email; originals can follow later by courier.

A very common situation: you have inherited a flat, a house or land in Moldova but live in the United Kingdom. The succession procedure follows the Civil Code of the Republic of Moldova and involves opening the estate before a notary, identifying the assets, obtaining the certificate of heir and registering ownership.

I can take on the entire procedure under a power of attorney: filing the application, gathering the required records, representing your interests before the notary and the cadastre, and, if you wish, assisting with a later sale of the property. Timelines and costs depend on the specifics of your file and remain indicative until I review the actual situation.

Many procedures in the UK — confirming citizenship, inheritance files, pension claims — require records issued in Moldova. I can obtain civil-status certificates for you (birth, marriage, death), duplicates, archive extracts, and arrange their apostille or legalization so they are accepted in the UK.

Also remotely, I can prepare powers of attorney tailored to your purpose, certified translations and complete document packages, so you avoid travel and dealings with institutions you are not familiar with.

If you want to start a business in Moldova without being a resident, I can assist with the state registration of the company under Law No. 220/2007, the drafting of constitutive documents and subsequent corporate formalities. For British companies working with Moldovan partners, I advise on contracts, compliance and representation in commercial disputes.

I also represent clients in civil and commercial litigation, in recovering debts from debtors in Moldova, and in other disputes before Moldovan courts. Matters concerning the status of foreigners (Law No. 200/2010), residence and citizenship connected to Moldova can likewise be addressed in light of your specific situation.
