Mircea Farcau
@mirceafarcau
I am a tech-focused legal counsel bridging law, code, and commercial.
RomaniaWhat I'm looking for
I am a legal counsel with 10+ years of experience advising startups, scale-ups and multinational clients across AI, SaaS, fintech, cybersecurity and blockchain. I focus on structuring deals, closing complex contracts and managing risk for fast-moving product teams.
I have represented clients in preliminary rulings before the CJEU and advised on cross-border regulatory strategy across the EU and CEE. I routinely support investor readiness for VC/PE rounds and craft investor-ready data rooms and equity documentation.
I have built legal operations from scratch, developing templates, playbooks, SLAs, CLM processes and privacy-by-design frameworks that enable audit-ready releases. I led GDPR, export-control, AI/ML risk and InfoSec compliance programs and aligned engineering practices with legal requirements.
I have guided launches of crypto-native products, negotiated token-sale and licensing frameworks, and protected AI assets with bespoke IP and data-licensing terms. I enjoy partnering with product and engineering teams to enable compliant innovation at pace.
