Iva joined DPC in 2019 through our summer trainee selection program. Due to her hard work and team play, she was soon promoted to legal assistant and assigned to the corporate and M&A team to become its newest associate immediately after finishing her studies. When she is not busy registering companies and preparing legal opinions on corporate matters, Iva gladly joins projects in the areas of intellectual property, dispute resolution, employment and benefits, and healthcare and life sciences as well. Recently she was involved in the appeal of an ordinance by Sofia Municipality regarding the limited access of disabled persons to parking spaces on the territory ofthe city.

Iva is a regular participant in mock trials and moot court events. In 2020 her team from the Faculty of Law of Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski brought home the biggest award and ranked among the best teams in the world winning Jessup - the world’s largest moot court competition with participants from over 750 law schools in 100 countries and jurisdictions.

Iva is not only a talented lawyer, but also a former rock band lead singer and a real master of the Bulgarian national dance horo.
