CMS

CMS covers a broad scope of work, including investment, financing and re-financing of large cross-border transactions and projects, often those in the renewable energy space, securities offerings, tender offers and takeover bids and loans, where the firm has experience advising banks and PE-firms on the borrower side and fintech companies on the lender side. The team is led by three practitioners: Elitsa Ivanova, who is a dual qualified Bulgarian and English lawyer, and is therefore well placed to advise on cross-border corporate, project and leveraged finance mandates; Dimitar Zwiatkow, who handles real estate finance, regulatory matters and banking litigation; and Gentscho Pavlov, who specialises in M&A, restructuring and banking regulatory work. Further key names in the department include Ivan Gergov, Katya Todorova and Konstantin Altandzhiyski, who joined the team in February 2024 from Wolf Theiss.
