Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'DPC’s Transport team has been particularly strong in areas such as regulatory compliance, contract structuring of jet acquisition, financing of transport-related assets, and negotiations with counterparties which is not typical for our market and rarely lawyers have experience with similar matters. They are highly responsive, clear in their advice, and always focused on finding workable outcomes. Compared with other firms, DPC is more proactive and business-minded.'
- 'I would especially mention Pencho Stanchev, who is one of the brightest lawyers I have ever seen. He brings excellent strategic vision and understands the regulatory framework inside out and can easily predict where a problem can arise. Alexander Georgiev is also very smart lawyer who is extremely detail-oriented and reliable in managing complex negotiations and documentation. Their combined expertise has been crucial in ensuring smooth execution of our transport projects and financing arrangements.'
- 'What makes DPC different is how much they care about their clients. They don’t stop at giving legal advice - they help you navigate every challenge along the way. Their clarity, availability, and genuine involvement make them stand out in the market. They are outstanding professionals.'
- 'Alexander Georgiev is relentless in detail, but at the same time down-to-earth and straightforward. He has deep regulatory knowledge and the rare ability to simplify complexity without losing precision.'
- 'We found the team to be exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely committed to helping us achieve our goals. From the outset, they took the time to understand our needs and provided practical, clear, and actionable advice. What stood out was their collaborative approach and responsiveness—no question was too small, and they always kept us informed at every stage. Compared to other firms we have worked with, they brought a level of efficiency, insight, and innovation that made the process smoother and more effective.'

He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, provided thoughtful guidance, and responded promptly to all our queries.
