Diversity

Three decades ago, Georgiev, Todorov & Co.  set the tradition of one of the most successful law firms in Bulgaria. The team built a corporate culture focused on social responsibility and public contribution.

As professionals in the field, the team recognises its responsibility toward young colleagues and provides a good start for the career of young lawyers in the firm. Georgiev, Todorov & Co. offers an annual internship program for final year students. The legal team’s professional responsibility is strongly focused on supporting the young colleagues regarding their education and experience gain. The students, who meet the necessary requirements, can take an advantage of the scholarship programme as well.

Georgiev, Todorov & Co. has always respected the equal opportunities policy. 37 % of our lawyers are women and 63 % are men. This gives our clients the advantage of a balance between female’s sense to details, perseverance and creativity in problem-solving, and men’s analytical skills, responsiveness and motivation. The team also encourages lawyers to participate in seminars, webinars, round tables, public discussions and working groups. As the legal framework is constantly changing, it is important to be up to date with the market trends.

The team strongly believes that diversity is a major development tool and that this initiative allows the lawyers to solve clients’ complex issues more efficiently and to provide them with tailored legal service. Another benefit of the team is the knowledge of multiple languages and international regulations in addition to the native Bulgarian, including English, French, German, Russian and Armenian.

Georgiev, Todorov & Co. is part of the organisation BNI International. The organisation provides its members with a structured and positive marketing program through business recommendations - proven to be the most effective way to attract customers. It gives a unique opportunity to establish contacts and build long-term partnerships with business leaders in various sectors of the economy, which are the most valuable resource for any company.

The law firm is a partner of the Bulgarian branch of the organisation 180 Degrees Consulting, the largest student-driven consultancy globally that provides socially conscious organizations and non-profits around the world with high quality and very affordable consulting services. Our lawyers are assisting students from various courses to develop their interpersonal skills, as well as expand their knowledge for specific legal regulations and fields.

Georgiev, Todorov & Co. also supports a number of charities financially, by donating equipment or spending personal time. Apart from providing excellent work environment and educational programs for its employees, for years Georgiev, Todorov & Co. has also developed an active social responsibility program by helping several disadvantaged children institutions. Diversity and social activity are set at the law firm’s policy and culture as the team firmly believes in the principle of the social responsibility and its positive impact on society.
