About

Provided by Kambourov & Partners

The team handles the full spectrum of business law disputes, including financial services litigation, regulatory disputes, cross-border commercial litigation and arbitration, shareholder and governance conflicts, insurance disputes, public procurement litigation, IP enforcement, and recognition of foreign judgments and arbitral awards.

Recently, the department has represented a diverse range of clients, from multinational corporations to sovereign entities and private individuals. Notable highlights include high-value arbitration and annulment matters with regional implications and ongoing litigation over board liability and copyright claims.

The practice is also trusted in sensitive, precedent-setting matters involving the public interest, representing elderly clients in pro bono cases concerning alleged abuses in Bulgaria’s arbitration and enforcement systems. This area of work reflects the department’s broader commitment beyond commercial mandates.

The department is active in sectors such as banking and finance, commercial disputes, telecommunications, energy, construction, insurance, and sovereign disputes. These mandates often involve regulatory overlays, geopolitical dimensions, or EU/international law components.

The team is distinguished by its arbitration practice, with experience across ICC, UNCITRAL, and domestic fora, advising in English-language proceedings. It also handles award enforcement and annulment mandates before Bulgaria’s Supreme Court of Cassation.
