I really enjoy everything to do with the practice of commercial law – I like the process of drafting all types of contracts and the fact that I am exposed to variety in terms of the companies and work involved. I also find Competition & Antitrust practice very interesting because of the high-profile and challenging cases involved. I am happy to be part of Dinova Rusev & Partners as it is an internationally orientated law firm, and I have the opportunity to progress and advance professionally. My colleagues are great to work with and I find that information sharing in our team is encouraged.
