15 years ago Boyanov & Co. initiated and became a founding member of The South East Europe Legal Group (SEE Legal), a unique organisation of the leading national law firms across 12 countries in South-East Europe, aiming to provide a one-stop-shop for the best legal advice in the region.

The firm is strongly dedicated to supporting the rule of law, the adoption and implementation of a modern and efficient business regulation, and to furthering international legal exchange. We have contributed to a wide variety of legislative initiatives (including by lobbying and providing statements and opinions on amendments of the Bulgarian Constitution and more than 25 legal acts). Lawyers of the firm work as scholars in leading universities, and contribute regularly to Bulgarian and international publications in all areas of local, European and international law.

The firm's unwavering support for business has made it a valued member of organisations such as Confederation of Employers and Industrialists in Bulgaria, the American Chamber of Commerce in Bulgaria, the German-Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce, the British Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce, Indian Bulgarian Business Chamber, the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, International Chamber of Commerce Bulgaria, etc. Its partners are active in the International Bar Association, American Bar Association Law Society, INTA, Lord Slynn European Law Foundation and others.

An illustration of these efforts is the Balkan Legal Forum initiated by the firm in 2000 and supported by the International Bar Association, which, with its nine successful editions, became "the most important legal event in the region".
