A business with recurring needs
For companies that regularly review agreements, manage commercial relationships or need advice on their Bulgarian operations.
Ongoing legal support
for your business in Bulgaria.
English-speaking legal advice for companies with recurring contractual, corporate and commercial needs. Work directly with Vasil Petrov under an individually agreed legal retainer, with a defined scope of support and clear arrangements for fees and communication.
ONGOING LEGAL SUPPORTPractical advice.
Practical advice.
Direct involvement.
A supplier sends revised terms. A customer requests changes to your agreement. Your Bulgarian company needs a corporate decision or advice before taking its next commercial step. Ongoing legal support gives your business a consistent point of contact for these recurring matters. Depending on the agreed scope, the engagement may cover contract drafting and review, commercial negotiations, corporate documentation and advice on day-to-day business questions under Bulgarian law. The service is designed for businesses operating in Bulgaria, including international companies and foreign-owned Bulgarian businesses that need to discuss their legal matters in English.
Discuss ongoing support ↗A defined scope of support
Consultations, contract drafting and review, corporate matters and representation can be discussed as part of the engagement. The agreed scope determines what is included.
Continuity and commercial context
Work directly with a lawyer who can develop an understanding of your operations, priorities and existing agreements.
What we agree together
The work you expect
The types of matters, their expected frequency and the support your team needs.
Communication and priorities
Who will raise requests, how we communicate and how urgent or time-sensitive work will be handled.
Scope and remuneration
The agreed fee, included work and the treatment of additional transactions or matters outside the engagement.
Before agreeing the scope, read what an ongoing legal support agreement should cover.
Before we start.
Is subscription support right for every business?
It is most relevant where legal questions recur. For a single transaction or an occasional contract, a separate engagement may be more appropriate. We can discuss which arrangement fits your needs.
Does the subscription include unlimited work?
The scope is agreed individually. It should be clear which services are included and how work outside that scope will be commissioned and charged.
Can the work be discussed in English?
Yes. I work in English and Bulgarian, including with international businesses operating in Bulgaria.
Are litigation and major transactions included?
Their inclusion is not automatic. We discuss the requirements of the specific matter and whether it falls within the ongoing engagement or needs a separate agreement.
HOW WE START
A clear first step.
Tell me what your company does, how it operates in Bulgaria and which legal questions arise regularly. We can discuss whether ongoing support is suitable and agree the scope, communication arrangements and remuneration before work begins.
01
Tell me what you need
Please include any immediate deadline and wait to send confidential documents until we have discussed your matter.
02
Agree the engagement
We discuss the assistance required, the scope of work and the fee. An initial enquiry does not establish an attorney–client relationship.
03
Work with a clear focus
For ongoing support, we agree how to raise new questions, prioritise work and handle matters outside the agreed scope.
Individually agreed fees
Fees are agreed individually with each client, taking into account the scope and nature of the work, in accordance with Ordinance No. 1 of 9 July 2004 on Remuneration for Legal Work. The scope of the engagement and remuneration are discussed before work begins.
Your matters remain private.
Confidentiality is central to my practice. I do not publish client names, testimonials or transaction case studies. Even an anonymised account can reveal a client’s identity in a closely connected business community.
Your enquiry and any subsequent engagement are handled with discretion and respect for professional confidentiality.
