Eurolex Bulgaria/ADP is regularly called upon to assist in drafting the country’s legislation and consequently is considered one of the most experienced consultants in this regard. We have participated in the preparation of numerous acts requested either by the Bulgarian authorities or by private investors and associations.

As head of the legal department of the Council of Ministers, managing partner Andrey Delchev has participated in the drafting of a significant part of contemporary national legislation. He has worked on more than 10,000 legal Acts. Partners Julia Stoykova and Stoyka Kurteva, likewise, possess in-depth regulatory and drafting knowledge gained during their time as legal experts at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Our partners’ unique understanding of the way the Government and the Parliament operate, combined with the legal talent and EU law proficiency of the younger lawyers, places our team among the best consultants in respect of EU harmonization and national law drafting in Bulgaria.
