The Balkan Legal Forum has been rated by previous attendees as "the best legal event in South East Europe".

IBA President Fernando Pombo will open the event with remarks and will welcome Miglena Tacheva, Minister of Justice of the Republic of Bulgaria, and Daniela Dokovska, the President of the Bulgarian Bar.

At the first session, a distinguished panel of clients and private equity lawyers will discuss private equity deal activity in the Balkans and beyond; regulatory impediments; private equity developments in Western Europe and the United States, special issues in representing private equity clients and political risk in private equity transactions in SEE.

A session on law firm management will follow, posing the question: "So you think you are running a successful law firm?" Prominent speakers with rich expertise in law firm management will share their views with you.

The third session is dedicated to IPO, addressing such issues as the choices to raise capital for growth, acquisitions and IPO; entry into the public market and what it means for a company; and how companies should prepare for the IPO process.
