About
“Our strategy has been to build the firm as an effective, first class team, capable to satisfy the needs of corporations and governments. Over two decades partnering with our clients, we have assisted and guided them with the best of our knowledge, experience, contacts and energy. Our advices on legal issues are provided with clear understanding of related business, political and economic conditions. And whenever it is needed, Boyanov & Co. fights for its clients and the rule of law by all legal means available. In the same manner our firm has lobbied for the legitimate interests of our clients and improvement of the legal and business environment in Bulgaria.
During the most difficult years in South East Europe, we initiated the establishment of SEE Legal – a unique organisation of the leading law firms from 12 South East European countries, aimed to assist international clients and legal community. In 2000, our firm propounded the biannual Balkan Legal Forum, which became a traditional legal conference, organised by us in cooperation with the International Bar Association. It has been internationally recognised as one of “the most important legal events in the region”.
