Attorney Konstantin Vassilev Assumes Office as Disciplinary Judge at the Sofia Bar Association

On February 4, 2024, elections were held for the members of the bodies of the Sofia Bar Association, namely: the Bar Council, the Supervisory Board, and the Disciplinary Court. The assumption of office by the elected members was delayed by almost a year due to appeals that were filed but subsequently rejected by the Supreme Administrative Court.

Thus, on January 14, 2025, attorney Konstantin Vassilev officially assumed office as a disciplinary judge at the Disciplinary Court of the Sofia Bar Association. This position reflects the deep trust vested in him by the professional community and his commitment to upholding the high ethical and professional standards of the legal profession.

The Disciplinary Court is the body that oversees and rules on matters regarding the failure to fulfill obligations and the ethical rules of the lawyers from the respective bar associations, with its powers also including the imposition of disciplinary sanctions (reprimands, fines, suspension from practicing law for a certain period, etc.). This position is key to ensuring the integrity and authority of the profession in the interest of society.

Attorney Vassilev continues to serve as the managing partner at the Vassilev & Partners Law Firm.
