‘Schoenherr Bulgaria has proved to be outstanding in understanding the deal complexity, the desired outcome, the complex financial metrics and was very prompt in response time and quality of advice and work.’
‘Ilko Stoyanov and his team have delivered an outstanding service level and responsiveness. I felt confident and backed up on all legal matters, but also on the economic and commercial side.
