The real estate market in Bulgaria has been experiencing an extraordinary growth over the past decade. For a real estate developer this offers exciting opportunities, but could also be dangerous as entry into the market, already home to foreign and local investors, could be difficult. When investors need to assess their opportunities carefully, they require a good advisor, one familiar with local regulations, who knows the market and is experienced enough to be able to provide commercially focused guidance.

Our real estate lawyers in Sofia meet all these criteria. The core team includes four senior lawyers, who are supported by other qualified mid-level and junior real estate lawyers and by lawyers from our corporate, commercial and finance departments: a practice which aims to provide sophisticated and well-rounded advice to our clients. Our real estate team is consistently recognised as a market leader by independent directories such as Legal 500, as well as by clients. The team has advised on a large number of residential and commercial property investments, planning matters, developments, financing and leasing, management and maintenance, including, where relevant, associated environmental, employment and corporate issues. Our clients benefit from our track record, which includes extensive work on structuring, regulation, property trading and technical requirements across a number of jurisdictions.

We are proud to have worked and to still be working on numerous complex cross-border real estate transactions. The distinctly European network of CMS allows us consistency and effectiveness across the continent when meeting our client’s legal and business needs. We are confident that no other law firm in Bulgaria can offer the same international reach to their clients as we can.
