Whether you're an expatriate navigating family law matters, a foreign investor requiring real estate legal assistance, or an international business seeking corporate counsel, our English-speaking law office provides expert guidance tailored to the unique challenges faced by non-Romanian speakers in Moldova's legal system. With over two decades of experience and a doctorate in law, Dr. Augustin Procopovici offers strategic legal representation across civil, criminal, and administrative matters, ensuring your rights are protected under Moldovan and European law.

Legal Consultation

Comprehensive legal advice on Moldovan legislation for international clients. We provide clear explanations in English of complex legal matters, strategic guidance for business decisions, and practical solutions for your legal questions. Whether you're planning a business venture in Moldova, need contract review for property transactions, require guidance on immigration procedures, or need general legal counsel on Moldovan law, we offer expert consultation tailored to your specific needs. Our consultations help you understand your legal position, assess risks, and make informed decisions before taking action.

Court Representation

Professional representation in arbitration tribunals and civil courts at all levels throughout Moldova—from initial hearings in first instance courts to appeals and supreme court proceedings. We handle the entire litigation process on behalf of international clients, from comprehensive case preparation and strategic filing to persuasive courtroom advocacy and enforcement of favorable judgments. Our litigation services cover commercial disputes, contract breaches, property disputes, employment matters, and civil claims, ensuring your interests are vigorously defended in Moldova's judicial system.

Family Law

Expert handling of international family law matters including divorce proceedings for binational couples, equitable property division, child support determination, and custody arrangements when parents are from different countries. We understand the sensitive and emotionally challenging nature of family law matters and provide compassionate yet effective legal representation to protect your interests and your family's future. Our family law services are particularly valuable for expats and international couples navigating Moldova's family law system, addressing cross-border custody issues, international child abduction concerns, and recognition of foreign divorce decrees.

Criminal Defense

Strategic criminal defense planning and vigorous representation before criminal investigation authorities, prosecutors, and courts in Moldova. We protect your fundamental rights throughout the criminal justice process, from initial questioning by police to trial proceedings and appeals, ensuring you receive fair treatment under Moldovan criminal law and international human rights standards. Our criminal defense services are crucial for foreign nationals facing criminal charges in Moldova, as we navigate language barriers, explain procedural rights, and ensure proper legal representation at every stage of criminal proceedings.

Real Estate Law

Comprehensive legal assistance for real estate purchases, sales, and property transactions in Moldova. We conduct thorough due diligence investigations, review property titles and ownership history, draft and negotiate purchase contracts, coordinate with notaries, and ensure all documentation complies with Moldovan real estate law to protect your investment. Our real estate legal services are essential for foreign investors and expats buying property in Moldova, as we identify potential legal issues, verify seller legitimacy, check for encumbrances or liens, and guide you through Moldova's property registration system to ensure secure ownership transfer.

ECHR Applications

Preparation and submission of applications to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg for violations of the European Convention on Human Rights by Moldovan authorities. We provide expert guidance on Convention rights, assess the merits and admissibility of your case, exhaust domestic remedies as required, and represent you throughout ECHR proceedings. Our ECHR application services are vital when domestic legal remedies have been exhausted and fundamental rights violations persist, covering issues such as unfair trial, property rights violations, freedom of expression, and torture or inhuman treatment claims against the Moldovan state.
