Yordanova, Rizova & Partners comprises four fee-earners and is led by partners Svetlana Yordanova and Milena Rizova. They, formerly senior managers at Deloitte, established the practice just over five years ago. Yordanova also has nine years experience at PwC while Rizova worked in the tax administration for a number of years.
Despite their small size the group has a sizeable market presence and advises a number of large multinational clients. "They are small in size but large in quality" said one partner. "I like them because they maintain good relations with their clients, that is how they have been able to attract so many big names."
Unlike many of their competitors the practice provides mostly consulting work and advises less on projects. The team is able to provide services across most areas of tax including VAT, corporate tax and real estate. The group is also developing its expertise in the area of customs to offer a more complete indirect tax service.
Tax litigation and dispute resolution work has increased this year. The team recently won a major case for a client on the issue of interest in arrears regarding the payment of customs. The team is also advising another client in a VAT dispute which concerns the application of the principle of neutrality to Bulgarian refund rules. A first judgment is due on this shortly.
The practice advises clients in most major global industries including energy, telecommunications, financial services, real estate and technology.
