Eversheds Sutherland Bulgaria

What Eversheds Sutherland Bulgaria does

Eversheds Sutherland Bulgaria is the Bulgarian member firm of global law firm Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP, operating locally as Tsvetkova Bebov & Partners (TBP) — a professional corporation of attorneys registered under Bulgaria's Advocacy Act. The firm was established in 2007 as TBP and subsequently combined with Eversheds Sutherland, becoming part of the global network while retaining its distinct Bulgarian legal registration (Sofia City Bar No 2600010010, Sofia City Court file No 7441/2007, BULSTAT 175287907). Headquartered at 9-11 Maria Louisa Blvd., Sofia, the office operates with approximately 15 staff.

The firm delivers a full-service business law offering across 14 practice areas: Banking & Finance, Competition/Trade & Foreign Investment, Construction & Engineering, Corporate & M&A, Corporate Crime, Data Privacy/Security & Technology, Employment/Labor & Pensions, Financial Services Regulation, Insurance, Intellectual Property, Litigation & Dispute Resolution, Real Estate & Planning, Strategic Contracts, and Tax. It advises on both Bulgarian domestic law and international regulations applicable to Bulgarian entities. The firm serves two primary customer segments — international businesses operating in or entering Bulgaria and domestic Bulgarian businesses — through direct partner-led engagement.

The business model is classic professional services: revenue is generated on a per-engagement basis, with pricing negotiated per matter rather than publicly disclosed. GTM is enterprise field sales via partners and lawyers, with demand-generation supported by the global firm's website, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, insights publications, and events/training channels. As a member firm of Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP, the entity benefits from cross-border referral capability while operating as an independently registered professional corporation in Bulgaria.
