I. Provision of legal services
1. Formation of the relationship
The client relationship is formed upon signing a written engagement agreement or upon written confirmation of instructions. An enquiry through the website or by email does not in itself create a lawyer–client relationship.
2. Scope
The scope of each engagement is defined in the engagement agreement. Legal services are provided in accordance with the Bar Act, the Code of Ethics of Lawyers and applicable legislation.
3. Team
Each engagement is led personally by Ivailo Marinov. Other lawyers and staff may be involved in its performance and, with the client’s consent, external specialists.
4. Fees and expenses
Fees are agreed in advance and in writing — as a fixed amount, on an hourly basis or otherwise — in compliance with Ordinance No. 1 of 9 July 2004 on Remuneration for Legal Work. State fees, procedural costs and the costs of translation, legalisation and travel are borne by the client unless otherwise agreed.
5. Confidentiality and conflicts of interest
We keep confidential everything entrusted to it by the client, in accordance with professional secrecy under the Bar Act. A conflict-of-interest check is carried out before each engagement is accepted.
6. Anti-money laundering
Where required by the Measures Against Money Laundering Act, we carry out client due diligence and may request identification documents and evidence of the source of funds. Failure to provide them may result in the engagement being declined or terminated.
7. Personal data
Client personal data is processed in accordance with the Privacy Notice under Articles 13 and 14 GDPR.
