Corporate Law and Transactions
Help for commercial companies with governance, restructuring, M&A deals and the contracts that bind shareholders and partners.
Corporate law deals with the many legal relationships inside a company, from how it is run and how decisions are taken to restructuring and merger and acquisition deals. Borderless Legal supports a company through each phase of its corporate life.
We advise majority and minority shareholders on governance, prepare a company's internal documents, and check that it meets the Commercial Act and any sector-specific rules.
On M&A deals we carry out legal due diligence, prepare the transaction documents, shape the structure of the deal and act for you at the negotiating table.
If your company is not yet formed, or you need help with incorporation and registration, turn to our Company Law practice.

- Is it possible for a foreign investor to form a Bulgarian company from abroad?
- Yes. A foreign national can form a Bulgarian OOD (LLC) entirely from abroad. This needs a power of attorney that is notarised and apostilled and that authorises a local representative to sign the incorporation documents and file the application with the Commercial Register. Most Bulgarian banks also allow a bank account to be opened through a power of attorney.
- What does legal due diligence involve in a Bulgarian M&A deal?
- In a Bulgarian M&A deal, legal due diligence normally examines the corporate documents and chain of ownership; contracts and liabilities already in place; court cases and enforcement proceedings still open; regulatory compliance; tax exposure; and any real estate or IP assets. Its scope is settled with the client according to the size and risk profile of the transaction.
- What are the costs and timing of setting up an EOOD in Bulgaria?
- An EOOD needs minimum share capital of BGN 2 (approximately EUR 1). You pay notary and state fees, legal fees and the Commercial Register filing fee. If the application is filed electronically, registration usually takes 3–7 business days.
