About the event
Law is rarely the first thing on a founder's mind - until it has to be. At this event, Gabriela Ivanova and Desislava Dimitrova will talk firsthand about how the legal side of business touched their path: what nobody told them at the start, and what they wish they'd known sooner.
What you'll hear
- What the legal side of business looks like from the inside - through the eyes of a lawyer and an entrepreneur.
- What nobody told them at the start, and what they wish they'd known sooner.
- Real cases from their own practice - no dry legal jargon.
- An open conversation - questions from the audience are welcome.
Who it's for
Anyone building or planning to start a business in Bulgaria who wants to hear real experience instead of dry paragraphs of law.
