We created #ArbitrationBulgaria to share our knowledge with everyone interested or involved in arbitration in our country. Having spent a huge amount of time searching for arbitration case law while working on various arbitration cases, we thought it would be great if lots of useful information related to arbitration in Bulgaria (and not only) could be found in a single place.
In case you cannot find the answer to your question, or you need to make sure your interpretation is correct, we would be more than happy to speak to you.
