A Closer Look at Sibina Eftenova
What does being a lawyer mean to you?
Being a lawyer is a mission - either you step in your client's shoes and give the best of you to help, or you do nothing. I had a long way learning to do the first without ignoring my personal needs at the same time.
What value do you and your firm receive from TAG Alliances membership?
We feel connected with high-quality firms and professionals from all over the world. Therefore, we feel confident that our clients' needs for professional services abroad will be properly fulfilled. This helps our marketing a lot as well.
What is something unique about your firm?
Our core is a unique collection of smart, diligent, brave, open, and caring people with great senses of humor who live their occupation as a mission. The latter has allowed us to become not only a preferred full-service business law advisor but also public authorities' consultants and experienced litigators. Young at heart and at the same time pretty strong in the TMT field, we were among the first law firms in our country to embrace technology by automating certain processes and stepping into the legal vacuum created by AI.
