In times of change, corporate responsibility is a boost to motivation and the right attitude!
There is more to a good lawyer than professional competence.

Guided by our philosophy, we at PM&P seek ever greater involvement in the social topics of the day. Thus, we can adapt faster to the real needs of our clients, while helping cultivate qualities such as commitment and mutual help.

This includes both international cooperation in the field of legal services and the implementation of good international practices and experience in our country. Therefore, our participation in prestigious international networks such as Lex Mundi, the world’s leading association of independent law offices (of which PM&P is the exclusive member for Bulgaria), FLI (PM&P being the exclusive member for Bulgaria), Lex Adria (PM&P being once again the exclusive member for Bulgaria) is a priority for us.

On the other hand, our involvement in and cooperation with a number of NGOs and foundations is an important form not only of the exchange of opinions, but also of the proper identification of current issues. This approach and our considerable efforts have found recognition in the numerous awards, certificates, and other distinctions bestowed upon us, including high praise in global legal directories such as Legal500, Chambers & Partners, Martindale-Hubbell, IFLR 1000, etc.
