PETERKA & PARTNERS is delighted to announce that it is the first foreign law firm registered in Bulgaria as a law firm under Bulgarian Bar Act.
The process of registering PETERKA & PARTNERS’ practice in Bulgaria ran parallel to discussions carried out for more than a year between local and European authorities regarding the form for provision of services by the foreign law firms in the country.
“We are glad that we have succeeded in achieving the registration in full compliance with Bulgarian Bar regulations. We believe this will bring our firm greater credibility among our clients and bolster our efforts to become respected competitors of local Bulgarian firms,” said Mr. Ondřej Peterka, founder and managing partner of PETERKA & PARTNERS.
“This is a step in the right direction not only for our law firm but also for both the legal and business environment in Bulgaria that continues to move towards the requirements of the EU market. It is also the deserved outcome for our considerable effort in the registration process,” added Mr. Martin Vacek, Director of PETERKA & PARTNERS’ Bulgaria office.
