“Penkov, Markov & Partners” is one of the most respected and experienced law firms in Bulgaria, established back in 1990. The company is the only one in Bulgaria with offices throughout the country, as well as in Vienna, Austria.

Since 1990, we have been a member of Lex Mundi, the world’s largest association of independent law firms, thereby providing our clients with legal support and representation in almost every country worldwide. In the following years, we became full members of FLI Net and Lex Adria, and from 2025, we also joined SIPAC.

We are proud to be the first law firm in Bulgaria certified under ISO 9001:2000, and subsequently recertified under ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 9001:2015. We have received five Superbrands of the Year awards in 2007, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2021, in recognition of the exceptional reputation we enjoy among clients and peers.

Our practice covers corporate and commercial law services, strategy development, structuring investments across various transactions and transformations, negotiations in mergers and acquisitions, and representation in corporate finance transactions and debt restructuring. Our internal standards and policies ensure an innovative approach, thoroughness, and the delivery of comprehensive services to business and institutional clients, both Bulgarian and international, across all traditional areas of law in Bulgaria.

At the same time, this approach has been one of the main reasons our firm has, in recent years, established itself as a leader in modern and business-challenging legal fields, including Data Protection and Anti-Money Laundering & Counter-Terrorism Financing.
