Practice Areas

Six disciplines, one lawyer, zero fog.

Each practice area below is delivered personally - researched, drafted and negotiated by the attorney-at-law you speak with, not delegated down a pyramid.

/ 01

Corporate & Cross-Border Structuring

  • M&A
  • Holding structures
  • Shareholder agreements

Incorporation, holding structures, joint ventures and restructurings across the EU and beyond - engineered for tax efficiency, investor readiness and clean governance.

Whether you are incorporating a Bulgarian company as an EU entry point, restructuring a group with holdings in several member states, or preparing a cross-border joint venture, the structure is designed backwards from your commercial goal: exit, investment, tax residency or governance. The result is a corporate architecture that investors can diligence in days - and that holds up under scrutiny years later.

/ 02

Data Protection & Digital Privacy

  • GDPR
  • CIPP/E
  • Data transfers

CIPP/E-certified GDPR practice: DPIAs, DPO support, international data transfers, breach response and privacy by design for products that move data across borders.

Data protection is treated as a product feature, not a tax on innovation. The practice delivers GDPR compliance programmes, records of processing, DPIAs, international transfer mechanisms, DPO-as-a-service and 72-hour breach response. As a CIPP/E certified professional, the advice is practical enough for your engineers and rigorous enough for your regulators.

/ 03

AI Governance & Digital Compliance

  • EU AI Act
  • AI policies
  • Vendor audits

Practical compliance with the EU AI Act and emerging AI regulation worldwide - model inventories, risk classification, vendor audits and responsible-AI policies that scale.

The EU AI Act changes how software is built and sold. The practice helps providers and deployers classify systems, build model and risk inventories, draft AI policies, audit vendors and prepare the technical documentation that regulators will expect - before the deadlines arrive, not after.

/ 04

Fintech & Emerging Technologies

  • MiCA
  • Payments
  • Tech contracts

Licensing, EMI and payment-institution compliance, tokenisation projects, crypto-asset regulation (MiCA) and commercial contracts for technology businesses.

From payment institutions and EMIs to MiCA-compliant crypto projects, the practice combines licensing strategy with commercial drafting: banking agreements, platform terms, vendor contracts and token frameworks that satisfy both regulators and counterparties.

/ 05

International Dispute Resolution

  • Arbitration
  • Mediation
  • Cross-border claims

Cross-border litigation strategy, international arbitration and certified mediation - resolving conflict with discretion, speed and commercial sense.

Most cross-border conflicts are won or lost before a claim is filed. The practice designs dispute strategy early: forum selection, arbitration clauses, evidence preservation - and, where possible, certified mediation that resolves the matter in weeks, with relationships intact.

/ 06

Corporate Governance & Legal Risk

  • Board advisory
  • Compliance
  • Risk audits

Board advisory, compliance frameworks, internal investigations and legal risk audits that protect value and satisfy regulators, investors and auditors alike.

Good governance is invisible until it is missing. Board advisory, compliance frameworks, internal policies and legal risk audits keep companies investable, insurable and audit-ready - across every jurisdiction in which they operate.

Questions

Asked before, answered plainly.

Do you advise clients outside Bulgaria?

Yes. The practice is built around EU and international work. As an attorney-at-law with full EU practice rights, Daniel Danov advises founders, scale-ups and corporates across jurisdictions - in English, and remotely worldwide.

Are you certified in data protection?

Daniel Danov is a CIPP/E certified data protection professional (IAPP) and a member of the International Association of Privacy Professionals, specialising in data privacy, AI governance and digital responsibility.

How are your fees structured?

Every matter begins with a written, fixed-scope proposal: a defined deliverable, timeline and fee agreed before work starts. Advisory retainers are available for clients who need a standing lawyer across borders.

Can you act as our external legal department?

Yes. A monthly advisory retainer covers contracts, compliance questions, GDPR matters and board support - one lawyer who knows your business, at a fraction of an in-house hire.

How do I start working with you?

Call or email the office. Every engagement begins with a confidential 30-minute scoping call and a clear, fixed-scope proposal.
