"I am honoured and excited to become the VIAC Ambassador for Bulgaria. Being a part of the VIAC community, exchanging knowledge with distinguished arbitration practitioners and collaborating with them are all new endeavours that I very much look forward to. I recognize and admire that VIAC is a unique and forward-thinking institution which combines its historical position in the Central and Eastern Europe region with an aspiration for an even greater development. My main goal as a VIAC Ambassador is to assist in strengthening the institution’s ties to Bulgaria."

I hold a law degree from King’s College London and a Masters degree in law from University College London. Following my studies in the United Kingdom, I graduated with a diploma in law from the Sofia University Kliment of Ohrid and became a member of the Bulgarian Bar Association.

I have been a part of Tomov & Tomov for approximately ten years where I have worked exclusively in the field of investment and commercial arbitration. I have acted as counsel in several arbitration proceedings under the ICSID rules. The subject-matter of these cases covered a number of industries such as banking, construction and energy (oil & gas, photovoltaic and electricity distribution and supply).
