The Confederation of Employers Concordia opposes a proposed law requiring companies to hire lawyers for most contracts, arguing it imposes unnecessary costs, especially on small businesses. The initiative, known as "Mandatory Lawyer," would require legal representation for various documents, increasing expenses for all firms regardless of size. Concordia emphasizes the lack of consultation with affected parties and warns that the law could hinder technological advancements in legal services. Other business organizations, including Romanian Business Leaders, estimate the financial burden could exceed 100 million euros annually, potentially impacting the economy negatively. They call for the proposal's withdrawal and a thorough discussion with stakeholders.
