Vasil Pavlov

Vasil Pavlov is the Managing Partner of PAVLOV & CO, a Bulgarian intellectual property firm, and has been named Intellectual Property Advisory Expert of the Year in Bulgaria at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025. The individual honour recognises his standing as one of the country's foremost advisers on the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights.

PAVLOV & CO offers comprehensive IP services covering the full journey of a right, from acquisition through to enforcement and litigation, complemented by advisory work in competition, privacy and data protection, and commercial law. The firm's specialist areas include trademarks and patent protection, industrial design and copyright, anti-counterfeiting operations, IP litigation and valuation, and monitoring services, giving clients a single adviser for both the registration and the defence of their intangible assets.

The practice draws on more than twenty-five years of extensive experience in intellectual property protection, a depth of history that is particularly valuable in a field where strategy and precedent matter. The firm emphasises that its team members each bring a different approach to specific cases while sharing a common commitment to their clients' goals, an ethos that supports tailored, considered advice rather than a one-size-fits-all response.

Central to the firm's method is a focus on objective analysis, professional assessment and the design of an adequate protection strategy aligned to each client's needs and future plans. This forward-looking, strategic orientation suits the reality of IP work, where decisions about how and where to protect a brand or invention can shape a business's competitive position for years to come. The firm acts for both national and international clients, reflecting the cross-border character of modern intellectual property.

Vasil Pavlov's personal reputation is reflected in his recognition across leading international rankings and directories, including Chambers Europe and the WTR 1000, and the firm's listing in Legal 500, IP STARS and other directories. His recognition as Intellectual Property Advisory Expert of the Year in Bulgaria at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 confirms the standing he has built as a strategic, experienced and internationally recognised IP adviser serving clients in Bulgaria and beyond.
