Acceptance of these terms
By using this website, you agree to these terms of use. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site. These terms apply to the website itself — they are separate from, and do not replace, any engagement letter or retainer agreement that may later be entered into with Adriana Melnikliyska for a specific legal matter.
Informational content, not legal advice
The content published on this site — including practice-area pages, explanatory guides, and answers to frequently asked questions — is provided for general informational purposes about Bulgarian law and procedure. It is not, and should not be treated as, legal advice for any particular situation. Legal rules change, and how a rule applies depends on the specific facts of a matter. Do not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of anything on this site without first obtaining advice on your specific circumstances.
No attorney-client relationship from browsing or a general enquiry
Viewing this website, or sending a general enquiry through the contact page, does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship, and does not place you under the protection of attorney-client privilege. An enquiry is first screened for conflicts of interest and fit with the current practice. An attorney-client relationship begins only once that screening is complete and an engagement — including its scope and fee — has been agreed with you in writing.
Please do not send confidential or sensitive information through the general contact form before an engagement is in place; see the Privacy Policy for how sensitive documents are handled.
Intellectual property
The text, structure, and original guides on this website are the property of Adriana Melnikliyska unless otherwise credited, and are made available for personal, non-commercial reference. You may read, share a link to, and quote reasonably from this content with attribution. You may not republish, redistribute, or present substantial parts of this site's content as your own, or use it to train or populate another commercial product, without prior written permission.
Accuracy and limitation of liability
Reasonable care is taken to keep the legal information on this site accurate and current, and material legal changes are reviewed under the site's Editorial Policy. Even so, legal information dates quickly, and this site cannot warrant that every page reflects the law as it stands on the date you read it. To the fullest extent permitted by Bulgarian law, no liability is accepted for any loss or damage arising from reliance on the informational content of this website in place of individual legal advice. This limitation does not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, and it does not affect the separate terms of any written engagement for actual legal representation.
External links
This site may link to external resources — for example, the Bulgarian Unified Bar Register, official legislation, or other institutions — for verification or reference. Those resources are operated independently, and their content is outside this site's control and responsibility.
Governing law
These terms of use are governed by the law of the Republic of Bulgaria, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Any dispute concerning this website itself, as distinct from a separate engagement agreement, falls within the jurisdiction of the competent Bulgarian courts.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated from time to time; the "last reviewed" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent review.
