Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • We work mostly with: - Nikolay Bebov (managing partner); - Damyan Leshev (partner); - Petar Ivanov (senior associate). All of them possess profound knowledge and significant experience in the EU and local regulatory landscape. They also closely follow the most recent trends and are able to comment on or react to upcoming regulatory initiatives. Their professional knowledge covers other countries' legislative frameworks, which brings many positives to their clients, such as expanding business abroad, comparing regulatory regimes, or suggesting the best approach to handle a specific legal problem.
  • A team of professionals who stay informed at the earliest possible stage about upcoming regulatory changes, continuously enhance their expertise, and dedicate special attention and care to each client — always placing the client’s interests at the heart of the business relationship. They demonstrate a strong sense of responsibility and adaptability in changing circumstances. I consider them to stand out for their highest level of professionalism, particularly in terms of experience in the capital markets and a deep understanding of the European regulatory framework within the industry. Moreover, they are the only ones from whom I have received competent and well-informed opinions regarding our operations in Bulgaria, as well as the UK and Portuguese regulatory frameworks applicable to our company.
