  Abstract:  The last period has seen an enormous investment in legal reform efforts in many transition and developing economies, much of it involving the importation of legal models from mature market economies. As a growing body of economic and legal literature shows, legal reforms in transition economies were largely grounded on transplants. The challenges raised in the legal transplants process can be revealed by reuniting two major approaches. The substantial approach is meant to present the results of legal transplants by taking into consideration there compatibility with the pre-existing Romanian corporate norms. Recent reforms of Romanian Corporate Law transplanted concepts and institutions referring to: a clear separation between the management and the control functions of the Board of Directors; introduction for the 1st time of the German two-tier administration; directors` fiduciary duties; directors` dismissal for righteous cause; enhanced shareholder democracy; new shareholders remedies. These transplants commonly raised problems related to their implementation and effectiveness in the recipient system.
