Schoenherr takes home four trophies at 2026 IFLR Europe Awards

This year, IFLR has awarded Schoenherr the following accolades:

• EU Digital Finance Firm of the Year Award

• Bulgarian Firm of the Year Award

• Impact Deal Award for advising Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena on the financial services regulatory aspects of its EUR 13.8bln public takeover offer for Mediobanca across CEE

• Bulgarian Lawyer of the Year Award: Tsvetan Krumov

"These recognitions reflect our innovative nature and our people's ability to seamlessly deliver creative legal solutions in complex matters," said Managing Partner Alexander Popp. "We thank our clients for their trust and congratulate our colleagues across the firm. Their strong team spirit and outstanding expertise make us who we are."

"We are delighted to receive these awards, and it's a personal honour to be recognised as Bulgaria's Lawyer of the Year," added Partner Tsvetan Krumov, who represented the firm at IFLR's gala together with Managing Attorney at Law Veronica Das Alexeev. "These achievements would not be possible without our teams' shared commitment to delivering excellent legal service across borders and industries."

The IFLR Europe Awards honour innovation in dealmaking and work that improves the region's cross-border investment environment. For 28 years, the awards have recognised the most innovative legal teams, firms and transactions based on IFLR's independent research.

With these latest recognitions, Schoenherr continues a very successful awards season. The firm was the only nominee to secure two wins at the 2026 Chambers Europe Awards, followed by five wins at the 2026 CEE Legal Matters Deal of the Year Awards.
