Legal Services in Bulgaria

Most of running a company in Bulgaria is routine. But sometimes you need a lawyer: a contract with a big client, a new partner coming in, buying property, or a problem with someone who doesn’t pay. For a foreign owner this is where things get difficult. The documents are in Bulgarian, the legal system is different from what you know, and it’s hard to tell which lawyer is right for the job. We solve this part for you.

How this service works

We are not a law firm, and we are open about this. In Bulgaria legal advice and representation are given by registered lawyers, and that is who does the work here. We work with independent Bulgarian lawyers we know and trust, who have experience with foreign clients and speak English.
Our role is to make the process simple. We understand what you need, choose the right lawyer for it, give them the full picture of your company, and coordinate the work so you get clear answers and documents on time. The lawyer is responsible for the legal advice and the work they do.
Because we often already know your company from the registration or the accounting, the lawyer doesn’t have to start from zero. This saves time, and usually also money.

What we help with

Bringing in a new partner, transferring shares, or a partner leaving the company
Changes in the company, like a new manager, address, activity or capital

If your matter is not on this list, ask anyway. If it’s not something our partners do, we will say so.

How it works

You tell us about your situation in a short call or email.
We make a clear summary and choose the lawyer who fits your case.
You get the scope and the cost in advance, before any work starts.
The lawyer does the work, and we coordinate between you, the lawyer and, if needed, the notary, the bank or the Commercial Register.
When something needs to be registered or put into practice, we take care of it.

Why not use a standard template?

For some things a template is fine. But a contract or partner agreement shows its value only when something goes wrong, and then the details decide everything. From our experience, the most expensive problems we see come from documents copied from the internet or written for another country’s law. A short review by a Bulgarian lawyer before you sign is usually a small cost compared with what it protects.

Who is this for

This service is for foreign owners of Bulgarian companies and for founders who are planning one, as well as investors buying property in Bulgaria. It is especially useful before you sign something important, when partners join or leave, and when something in your business changes.
