Penkov, Markov & Partners

Penkov, Markov & Partners is a leading law firm providing top quality legal service and legal representation of clients in Bulgaria.

Since its establishment in 1990 in the wake of the democratic changes in the country, the four founding members have provided legal advice on all business issues of their clients. Experience has shown that it is not enough to give general theoretical advice to clients; what clients need is a feasible and practical advice based on specific knowledge of the existing conditions and on the extensive experience gained in the process. It is this kind of advice that gives competitive edge.

As free market relations have consolidated, the law firm has gradually set up working groups in various domains of law. Today, they are specialized by practice areas.

Our team blends the ease and thoroughness of experienced lawyers with the eagerness and ingenuity of young colleagues, always brought together by the commitment to the issue and the customized approach to the client. Thus a genuine tailor-made service is provided to meet the needs of each client to the full extent.

Therefore what our clients receive is not just the first possible correct advice but the best possible advice ensuring maximum effectiveness and full reassurance to all parties.

The results we have achieved since the establishment of the law firm place us among the leaders on the legal service market and set an example for many other Bulgarian law firms to follow.
