Working in Bulgaria's highly regulated market is a challenge for any investor or firm. What an organisation needs in this environment is a knowledgeable, reliable and transparent advisor, who has experience working on matters within the lifesciences sector and a commercial approach to handling issues.

Our Sofia office has an invaluable advantage to offer to its lifesciences clients. Our Managing Partner, David Butts, has graduated with a degree in Pharmacy and has extensive experience working both as independent and in-house counsel for a variety of pharmaceutical and lifescience firms. He leads our lifesciences core team, comprising four lawyers, who are supported by lawyers from other practice groups. David, along with the rest of the team, is able to give our clients commercially-focused advice, which few other lawyers can.

The team plays an active role in the our Europe-wide lifesciences industry focus group, which meets regularly and consistently offers a cross-border value to our clients. With many multi-jurisdictional transactions and active cooperation with our colleagues across CMS, our Sofia team have the strength and experience to deliver results.
