2. Professional Activity
The website presents a Bulgarian law firm and lawyers exercising an independent regulated profession. Legal assistance is provided in accordance with Bulgarian law, professional ethics, lawyer independence, loyalty to the client and the applicable rules of the Bulgarian Bar.
3. Independence and Professional Judgment
A lawyer acts independently on the basis of law, facts and professional judgment. The firm may refuse or terminate an engagement where a legal or ethical impediment exists.
4. Legal Professional Privilege and Confidentiality
Information received in connection with professional activity is treated in accordance with applicable rules on legal professional privilege and confidentiality. The public website should not be used to send particularly sensitive material before a secure channel has been established.
5. Conflicts of Interest
Potential engagements are subject to conflict and professional-clearance checks. Until those checks and the firm's confirmation are complete, no engagement is accepted.
6. Client Identification
Where required by law, the firm may request identity, authority, beneficial ownership, source-of-funds and purpose information. The firm may decline or discontinue work if required checks cannot be completed.
7. International Work
For cross-border matters, the firm may coordinate independent lawyers and specialists in other jurisdictions. Their professional status, competence and terms are governed by the relevant jurisdiction and engagement.
8. Publications
Publications provide general professional analysis as at their date. They are not the official position of a court, administrative authority or bar body and do not constitute individual legal advice.
9. Electronic Communications
Email and the contact form facilitate initial communication but do not guarantee immediate reading, protection against every technical risk or acceptance of a procedural deadline. Urgent matters require express confirmation through an appropriate channel.
10. Feedback and Complaints
Questions concerning the website or services may be addressed through the published contact details. This does not restrict any statutory right to contact a competent professional, administrative or judicial body.
11. Editorial Responsibility
The operator is responsible for the website's editorial content. Information is maintained in good faith but is not a promise of a particular legal result. Individual assessment requires a formally accepted mandate and review of the relevant facts and documents.
