Automotive
At BOYANOV & Co., we are dedicated to supporting clients across the entire automotive industry, bringing together high-profile transactional experience and deep regulatory expertise. Led by Nikolay Zisov, our dedicated Automotive team has advised on landmark deals such as the acquisition of Star Motors, the official Mazda importer for Bulgaria and North Macedonia, and has guided Silver Star Group through its acquisition of Mercedes-Benz distribution assets in Bulgaria, including showrooms and bank financing. We were also privileged to serve as Bulgarian counsel for Visteon in its global acquisition of Johnson Controls’ automotive electronics business, which included its major R&D center in Bulgaria.
Our team has developed significant capabilities in navigating the complex regulatory landscape relating to vehicles and automotive parts, thanks to close collaboration with leading international law firms from Germany, the UK, and the USA. We offer expertise in areas such as regulatory compliance for autonomous and connected vehicles, the use of dashcams and other automotive accessories, and market placement requirements for vehicles and spare parts.
As trusted local legal advisors, we routinely provide in-depth regulatory research and practical guidance on the legal aspects of innovative automotive products and services as part of multijurisdictional projects for major global automotive manufacturers and suppliers.
Combining our hands-on experience in transaction support with our strong regulatory know-how, we help our clients anticipate and respond to evolving legal and market challenges, enabling them to capture opportunities in Bulgaria’s dynamic automotive sector and across borders.
Our client portfolio features leading local automotive importers and dealers, prominent automotive parts manufacturers, leasing companies specializing in vehicle leasing, and major international vehicle manufacturers seeking local legal advice and support.
We are among the very few law firms in Bulgaria with extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of the unique requirements and legal intricacies involved in high-value transactions for the purchase and sale of ultra-premium hypercars, supercars, and exclusive classic vehicles. Additionally, we offer specialized advice on the legal and regulatory aspects of car collection management and maintenance.
We have also advised on motorsports sponsorship agreements and a wide range of industry-specific contracts and arrangements, addressing the unique needs of stakeholders across the automotive and motorsports sectors.
