De Busschere Law Firm

De Busschere Law Firm operates a cross border practice with offices in Sofia, Bulgaria and Brussels, Belgium, and a network of partners in Luxembourg and Moscow that enables it to advise on international matters. The firm serves Bulgarian clients alongside foreign and European clients, with attorneys who have more than 15 years of experience in cross border matters. It communicates in Bulgarian, English, French and Russian to support a diverse client base.

Immigration and private client services are central to the firm’s Bulgarian practice. The firm assists EU citizens with residence planning after the initial three months, advising on grounds such as employment, self-employment, family status or study, and guides clients through the registration process to obtain residence documents, health insurance, VAT numbers and essential administrative tasks such as bank accounts, telephone numbers and car registration.

Beyond immigration, the firm handles real estate, corporate and commercial matters and banking needs with end-to-end service. Real estate services include legal due diligence of ownership and encumbrances, drafting and negotiating contracts, and representation by power of attorney for property transactions. Corporate and commercial work covers contract drafting and review, employment contracts, leases and loans, and assistance with registrations before Bulgarian authorities. The banking practice helps clients open bank accounts in multiple currencies with major European banks, and provides guidance on certificates and regulatory requirements. The firm notes more than 100 relocations completed successfully.
