The latest edition of Chambers and Partners Europe 2026 once again places Gugushev & Partners Law Office among the recognised firms in Bulgaria, reflecting both the firm’s established practice areas and the expertise of its lawyers.

In this year’s guide, the firm is ranked across Corporate & Commercial, Dispute Resolution, Energy and Intellectual Property, demonstrating a well-rounded presence in key areas of business law and ongoing consistency in delivering legal services across complex mandates.

The individual recognitions further highlight the strength of the team. Stefan Gugushev, founding partner of the firm, is noted for his extensive experience in corporate, transactional and energy matters, advising both local and international clients on high-value projects. Kostadinka Deleva is recognised in the Energy category, reflecting her growing role in regulatory and project-related work within the sector. In the field of intellectual property, Yoanna Ivanova continues to stand out for her focused practice, particularly in trademarks, enforcement and advisory work for a diverse client portfolio.

The rankings this year illustrate a clear trajectory of development within the firm, with sustained recognition across core practices and increasing visibility of key team members. This continued acknowledgement by Chambers reflects the firm’s ability to adapt to evolving client needs and to maintain a high standard of legal service in a competitive market.
