Our experience spans for more than 30 years of advising many multinational and Bulgarian clients from various industries on all aspects of merger control, cartels, unfair competition matters, horizontal and vertical restraints on trade, abuse of dominant position and of superior bargaining position, industry specific regulations, distribution, agency, and marketing contracts.
