Our Story
Stoeva, Tchompalov & Partners (formerly Stoeva, Tchompalov & Znepolski) continues its practice under a renewed structure reflecting the firm’s current partnership and future direction. The name, amended since April 2026, reflects the firm’s evolution and long-term strategic direction, while preserving its established expertise, client relationships, and commitment to delivering high-quality, partner-led legal services.
The professional relationship between the name partners dates back to the 1990s, when they studied law at the same university. This long-standing connection laid the foundation for a shared professional vision and approach to legal practice.
Prior to the establishment of Stoeva, Tchompalov & Partners (formerly Stoeva, Tchompalov & Znepolski) in 2017, Irina Stoeva and Iordan Tchompalov built their careers across leading legal and business environments, developing strong expertise in litigation, insurance, and commercial matters.
From 2004 until the firm’s founding, Irina Stoeva and Iordan Tchompalov were partners in separate but closely associated law firms, frequently collaborating on complex and high-value matters. Their continued cooperation over the years naturally evolved into the creation of a unified boutique practice, combining their experience, complementary strengths, and shared standards for quality and client service.
