Providing legal services to business and regulating their relations with partners, contractors, suppliers, customers, competitors and the State is the focal point of Gospodinov & Genchev ’s work. Our fundamental credo is that we use legal means to solve business problems – minimizing risk, optimizing opportunities and processes, creating added value, building sustainable strategies. Within the broad field of commercial law, we specialize in travel and tourism law.
Our services cover all business relations – corporate, B2B, B2C and employment. We use legal means to establish stable business structures with clear and fair rules for decision making, profit distribution, acquisition and loss of membership rights, liability. We regulate the company's relations in connection to investments and public fundraising.
We can prepare all necessary contracts that businesses conclude with customers, suppliers, partners, intermediaries, etc. At Gospodinov & Genchev we have a special method for analyzing risks in business relations, and for structuring contracts in a way that is based on your specific needs and interests, not on the typical relations in one sphere or another.
In addition to the general business oriented legal services, our team offers specialized services in the field of tourism: relations with tourist services users, relations between tour operators, travel agents, hoteliers and restaurateurs (in Bulgaria and abroad). Tourism is not only a specific business sector but also a heavily state regulated field. For that reason, we offer legal assistance in relations with the state and the relevant regulatory bodies.
