About Work

Commercial, property and shareholder disputes form a significant part of Sevdalina's mediation practice. She regularly assists businesses, company owners, property stakeholders, families and public sector organisations in resolving disputes involving commercial contracts, partnership breakdowns, real estate transactions, succession matters and cross-border conflicts.

Alongside her mediation work, Sevdalina is one of Bulgaria's most recognised mediation trainers and programme development specialists. She helped establish some of the country's first commercial mediation centres and played a key role in developing the Sofia Regional Court Settlement Centre, a model later recognised by the European Parliament.

Her mediation experience includes contractual disputes, shareholder and business separation matters, landlord and tenant disputes, property ownership conflicts, matrimonial finance cases, family business disputes, public sector disagreements and cross-border mediations. She is particularly experienced in disputes where ongoing relationships, commercial interests or long-term property arrangements need to be preserved.

Clients value Sevdalina's patient, structured and practical approach. She helps parties reduce conflict, clarify priorities and explore realistic settlement options, creating an environment where constructive dialogue can lead to durable and commercially sensible outcomes.
