Fees
Consultations and standard services carry a published, fixed fee. Litigation fees cannot be published, because they depend on the file — for those you receive an offer after we have reviewed the matter.
Consultations
You send the question and the documents. You receive a written opinion setting out concrete steps and deadlines, plus one round of clarifying questions. This is the format we recommend: you are left with a document you can return to.
A meeting of up to 60 minutes in Varna. In-person slots are limited; if the matter is urgent, the written format is faster.
English, Russian or German, written or in person.
Case assessment
A separate step between the consultation and the case. We review the documents, establish what evidence exists and what is missing, check the case law on the point, and tell you in writing whether proceedings are worth bringing. A share of matters end here, with a recommendation not to litigate.
Standard services*
The fees below are starting fees and apply to matters without complications.
Drafting the documents and entry in the Commercial Register. State fees not included.
Without consultation or an in-person meeting. Documents are drawn from data supplied by the client and signed electronically.
Change of manager, seat, scope of activity, transfer of shares.
Statutes, founding documents and registration.
Preparation of the agreement and the case papers, excluding arrangements for contact with children. The final figure depends on the volume of real property and on whether an in-person consultation is needed.
Tracing the acquisition history, searches in the property register and a written opinion on the encumbrances and risks identified.
To your brief, with one revision after comments.
Written opinion on a submitted draft, with the risks identified.
Pre-action challenge to the sum assessed on a claim.
Opinion on the regularity of convening and conduct and on the grounds for annulment.
Provision of a registered seat and correspondence address, receipt and forwarding of communications from public authorities. Annual fee. Client and beneficial owner identification requirements under the Anti-Money Laundering Measures Act apply.
Determined according to the volume of work and the needs of the client.
* State, notarial and bank fees are not included and are paid separately by the client.
Hourly work
Applies to tasks outside the listed services that cannot be quoted in advance. Charged per commenced hour.
Urgent execution. When the client requests to receive a written consultation, contract, or other deliverable in less than three working days following the request, a 50% surcharge is applied to the applicable fee.
Litigation fees
Set individually after review of the file. They depend on the type of proceedings, the volume of work and the amount at stake — not on a single table.
State fees, expert deposits and other costs of the proceedings are borne by the client and are not included in the fee. Where a claim succeeds, costs including the attorney fee are awarded against the other party in proportion to the part upheld.
Following the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 25 January 2024 in Case C-438/22 concerning the minimum attorney fees set by the Supreme Bar Council, courts now award below those amounts. The actual amount of costs awarded is therefore not known in advance and full recovery cannot be guaranteed.
For persons meeting the criteria under the Legal Aid Act, an individual assessment is made.
- All sums are in euro and are final.
- Payment is made in advance, on booking.
- The consultation fee is not credited against a litigation fee.
- The office does not offer free initial consultations.
