The National Union of Bar Associations in Romania (UNBR) denies claims that a proposed amendment to the Advocacy Law and Civil Code mandates lawyer involvement for all business contracts or bans LegalTech platforms. In response to concerns from Romanian Business Leaders about legislative initiative B563/2026, UNBR clarifies that the amendment does not require a lawyer for every contract, only those needing written form for validity. They argue that cost estimates of up to 800 million euros are exaggerated and based on misinterpretations. The project aims to simplify legal processes and does not restrict LegalTech or AI use. UNBR emphasizes the importance of clear regulations and is open to dialogue with business leaders to find legislative solutions.
