We were honored to take part in a distinguished event hosted by the Sino International Professional Advisory Council (SIPAC), China - a true meeting point for ideas, dialogue, and forward-looking cooperation.

Our Managing Partners, Nikolay Cvetanov and Boris Lazarov, represented the firm and engaged in meaningful exchanges within an international legal and business context, reinforcing our commitment to global collaboration.

At Penkov, Markov & Partners, we are proud that their participation at the Sino International Legal Forum 2026 and the SIPAC meeting in Shenzhen led to inspiring discussions, new connections, and valuable exchanges with leading professionals from across the globe. 

The experience reaffirmed key principles that define both international business and our firm culture, such as long-term relationships, trust, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to excellence and continuous improvement.

A special highlight was the opportunity to contribute to recognizing outstanding achievements within the Chinese legal community, reflecting the global vision shaping today’s legal profession.

Beyond the professional dialogue, the visit was also a meaningful cultural exchange.

As a gesture of goodwill and connection, we presented traditional Bulgarian symbols - a Martenitsa, a handcrafted handkerchief with Bulgarian embroidery, and a souvenir featuring the Madara Horseman - each symbolizing more than a formal gesture: a wish for health, strength, and enduring partnership.

Experiences like these reaffirm that, despite differences in geography and tradition, the foundations of strong international collaboration remain universal - trust, shared values, and collective progress. We look forward to building on these connections and continuing to strengthen the ties between our markets.
