Radu si Asociatii SPRL provided legal assistance to S.N. Nuclearelectrica S.A., the only nuclear energy producer in Romania, with respect to the project concerning the taking over of the uranium oxide processing line from Compania Nationala a Uraniului S.A., Feldioara Branch.
The strategic decision to acquire a part of the Feldioara assets necessary for the processing of the raw material took into account the need for integrated production capacities at the level of S.N.

The Radu si Asociatii SPRL team, coordinated by Andrei Stefanovici (Director), consisted of Alexandra Constantin (Senior Associate, Regulatory) and Irina Bica (Senior Associate, Corporate and Real Estate). Anca Atanasiu (Managing Associate) and Ana Flueran (Senior Associate) managed the labor and intellectual property law aspects of the transaction.
The legal assistance provided consisted in conducting a legal due diligence analysis regarding the Feldioara Branch of Compania Nationala a Uraniului S.A. and the assets that were the subject of the sale as well as in the support provided to S.N. Nuclearelectrica S.A. regarding the drafting and negotiation of the sale-purchase contract and the transaction documents.
Cosmin Ghita, General Manager of S.N. Nuclearelectrica S.A., stated: “I am very pleased with our collaboration with Radu si Asociatii SPRL team. They have made an important contribution to this transaction and I would like to thank them for their support throughout the process."
