About

An experienced lawyer in the fields of competition, negotiations and litigation, Vladislav Nikolov was appointed general counsel at EnduroSat, one of the few global companies producing small satellites, in the beginning of 2017. Nikolov is responsible for handling all corporate issues in the field of law, investments, and business negotiations. He also cooperates actively with shareholders, management and the supervisory board, of which he is a member. EnduroSat now has a true worldwide presence in the aerospace sector, and on any given day Nikolov typically advises the business on matters in a number of markets. Before joining EnduroSat, Nikolov spent over ten years with Overgas where he developed significant expertise in the energy industry. Overgas, which is joint owned by Gazprom, is Bulgaria’s largest private gas distribution company. There Nikolov grew a team of around eight lawyers which he structured like a law firm, helping to create a better climate for business. This resulted in a number of successful administrative and court cases before the European Commission (DG COMP and DG EN) and the National Supreme Courts in which Nikolov and the legal team played a direct and leading role. In his time with Overgas Nikolov was credited for doing a tremendous job in helping the company to enter the national market for the sale of natural gas as an independent player in the face of national legislation aimed at liberalisation of the industry. Before joining Overgas, Vladislav Nikolov worked at the Commission on Protection of Competition (CPC). In this intense environment he acquired knowledge of a number of different business areas. He holds a master of law from Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski and holds a master’s degree in European Law from the same university.
