The Dispute Resolution team of Gugushev & Partners Law Office: Senior Partner, Dafinka Stoycheva, and Associate, Daniel Dimitrov, have authored the Bulgarian chapter of the prestigious CEE Legal Matters Comparative Legal Guide: Litigation 2025.

This widely respected guide provides an in-depth analysis of litigation frameworks across Central and Eastern Europe. It includes detailed discussions on the structure and jurisdiction of national courts, how cases are initiated, and the timelines for various procedural stages.

The guide also outlines the rules governing interim measures, discovery procedures, and the enforcement of both domestic and foreign judgments. It also sheds light on appeal mechanisms, funding options for litigation, and the challenges of cross-border disputes.

In the Bulgarian chapter, our team explores all of the above and also discusses the increasing importance of alternative dispute resolution methods, such as arbitration and mediation, in resolving civil and commercial disputes in Bulgaria.

This publication is a vital resource for legal professionals, corporate counsel, and businesses operating across the region who are seeking to understand or engage with the litigation systems of CEE jurisdictions.
