Corporate & Commercial

PM&P provides comprehensive services to small and medium-sized enterprises as well as major international companies in all business areas.

Our Corporate & Commercial Department advises on a wide range of corporate & commercial matters, including high-profile M&A, private equity, disposals and corporate restructurings, complex joint ventures, securities transactions, all types of commercial contracts, as well as on general commercial matters and corporate governance issues.

PM&P appears to be one of the most active players on the M&A market in Bulgaria participating in dozens of significant deals. Most of these deals and transactions were well noted and represented by the independent international online editions such as CEE Legal Matters which closely follow the markets in Central and Eastern Europe.

The Corporate & Commercial Department of PM&P has also extensive experience on cooperating with major international law firms (e.g. Dentons, Allen & Overy, Weil Gotshal & Manges, Freshfields, Hogan Lovells, Norton Rose, Clifford Chance, Linklaters, Noerr, Morrison & Foerster, Skils) to act as local counsel in high-profile international transactions and local projects.
