Who we are
A legal partner for moving and doing business in Bulgaria
Borderless Legal is a Sofia law firm. We help people and companies, Bulgarian and foreign alike, to start a business, secure residence permits and put a lasting legal and tax structure in place in Bulgaria.
Our team has handled hundreds of immigration procedures, whatever the legal ground. In our corporate practice we have set up dozens of companies for clients from more than 15 countries. A power of attorney lets us open the bank account remotely, so clients need not come to Bulgaria to register a company. We also appear for clients before Bulgarian courts and have won many cases: appeals against administrative acts, collection of debts from business counterparties, and disputes arising from property purchases.
