Very pleased to announce that the two leading international legal directories published their new, 2025, editions. Both The legal 500 and Chambers Global and Europe confirmed our previous rankings among the best 12 corporate, M&A and commercial practices in Bulgaria.

Our clients’ feedback has been fenomenal – ‘we are grateful to our fantastic clients for their trust and lasting support‘, says Pavel Hristov.

[Their] corporate expertise spans majority stake acquisitions, merger control procedures, post-merger restructuring advice and related tax aspects as well as contract negotiation and drafting, where they represent corporates across technology, real estate and consumer goods, often handling cross-border mandates in collaboration with European partner firms. Pavel Hristov leads the team and handles M&A, joint ventures as well as related anti-trust and competition law, as does Dragomir Stefanov, and both are praised as ‘outstanding lawyers with deep expertise of local law’.

Really amazing team, fully committed, all services delivered with excellent quality!

All people we worked with actually were amazing. Pavel as owner, Dragomir as senior attorney.
