About the author and his approach
My professional approach took shape at the intersection of three kinds of experience: mathematical thinking, the law, and the real management of a business. I have worked as chief legal counsel and head of a legal department in corporate groups in real estate, asset management and project development, and for about ten years as managing director of commercial companies. That is why, faced with a complex question, I do not begin with the document but with the objective, the people, the assets, the constraints and the connections between them.
“Wealth Architecture” organises these observations, tests them and shares them, so that the questions and dependencies that usually remain hidden until they have already become a problem are made visible. The point of instability →
The experience behind the analyses
The law has been the core of my professional path since 1 September 2000, and since 2004 I have practised as a qualified lawyer. Over these more than twenty-five years I have taken part in:
- advising on landmark transactions with a total gross floor area of over 1,000,000 sq m in Bulgaria;
- transactions of leading foreign investors, among them the acquisition of one of the largest business parks in the country, the sale of a large property portfolio in a single transaction and one of the most significant management buy-outs of a company;
- advising one of the Bulgarian “unicorns” on corporate governance and property transactions, the transfer of property assets to the group of the leading shareholder in another, and the preparation of an out-of-court settlement agreement in a third;
- over 350 transactions for the acquisition of assets within family structures;
- over 50 cases of settling the property relations between partners and companies on parting, as well as representation in commercial disputes between owners and management;
- twelve years of advising landlords and tenants in well-known business centres, shopping centres and retail parks throughout the country, working together with the leading law firms.
Education and qualifications
I obtained my master’s degree in law from Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” in 2002. Almost ten years later, in 2011, I completed a second master’s degree at the same university, in European Union law. A decade after that, the drive for continuous learning and deeper understanding led me to doctoral studies at the Institute for the State and the Law of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, where I defended a dissertation in commercial law on the inheritance of quota shares in the limited liability company. The monograph has been completed and is being edited.
Attorney-at-law in the Sofia Bar Association since 2011 and certified mediator in commercial disputes since 2013.
