BOYANOV & Co. Shortlisted for the 2021 CEE Legal Matters Deal of the Year With Three Deals
Three deals that BOYANOV & Co. advised on had been shortlisted for the CEE Legal Matters 2021 Deal of the Year Award – two of which were selected for the Bulgarian legal market and one – for the Greek legal market. The selected for the Bulgarian legal market deals were the sale by NN Group of its Bulgarian pension and life insurance business to KBC, and the financing provided by J.P. Morgan for the acquisition of CEZ’ Bulgarian business by Eurohold.
The cross-border transaction our firm was involved in included advising Mondelez International on the Bulgarian aspects of the acquisition of the Greek food producer Chipita S.A.
BOYANOV & Co. is the only Bulgarian law firm to have three deals selected in these prestigious shortlists.
“Being shortlisted for either of this year’s awards is particularly notable since this has been the most competitive year to date,” commented CEE Legal Matters Managing Editor Radu Cotarcea. “CEE Legal Matters received more submissions for the Deals of the Year in this fifth year of existence than ever before – 319 submissions from 108 law firms – reflecting a remarkable year of growth, cooperation, and expansion – all performed against a truly challenging backdrop.”

Our team of professionals always fights for our clients and the rule of law by all legal means available. This recognition will give us even greater determination to continue providing our knowledge and experience for the improvement of the legal and business environment in Bulgaria.”.
