Dispute Resolution

The Practice Area

We have extensive experience in the various mechanisms for the resolution of disputes, including direct litigation, arbitration and mediation. In particular:

  • conducting legal proceedings before ordinary Bulgarian courts;

  • conducting proceedings before Bulgarian arbitration panels including the Arbitration Court of the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Sofia) and the Sofia Arbitration Court;

  • participation in ad hoc and institutional arbitration procedures before the ICC International Court of Arbitration in Paris, the Zurich and Stockholm Arbitration Courts;

  • representing clients in pre-litigation and administrative disputes with the Government of Bulgaria and Bulgarian municipal and regional authorities.

Efficiency and cost-consciousness


We constantly look for ways to pinpoint our advice and obviate inefficiencies.

Particularly in the context of contentious matters, the fear of the unknowability of the costs of legal representation and court fees can often deter otherwise beneficial decisions.

We understand our clients work within budgets and we are keen to present a clear and transparent to them cost structure. We agree charges with clients at the time of instruction, and can help with the management of costs.
