Practice Areas

Dispute Resolution

We undertake civil, commercial and administrative cases and provide legal support and representation in court. We assess each situation and advise clients on the dispute resolution method best suited to their case.

We encourage our clients to resolve disagreements through negotiation and mutual agreement, as this usually saves time, costs and business relationships. Where this is not possible, we are ready to represent them in litigation.

From the outset we provide a realistic assessment of the prospects of success, the expected duration and the costs of proceedings. This enables the client to make an informed decision whether to litigate, seek a settlement or use an alternative method.

We have experience in shareholder disputes, contractual disputes, debt recovery, appeals against administrative acts and penalty decisions, as well as interim relief and enforcement proceedings.

Frequently asked questions

Is it worth going to court?

The answer depends on the strength of the evidence, the amount of the claim, the solvency of the other party and the expected costs. We will make this assessment together with you at our first meeting.

What are summary payment proceedings?

A fast-track procedure for collecting monetary claims in which the court issues an enforcement order without a hearing. If the debtor does not object in time, the order becomes final and a writ of execution may be issued.

What are the limitation periods in Bulgaria?

The general limitation period under Bulgarian law is five years. For certain claims — such as periodic payments, interest and remuneration for work — the period is three years. Taking timely action is essential.
