DLA Piper slams the door on Bulgaria

I enjoyed the comment on the relationships between Wolf Theiss and DLA Piper in Bulgaria. What was left unsaid was the fact that CMS Cameron McKenna, DLA Piper and Wolf Theiss ventured into Bulgaria on the back of the local incumbent telecom - BTC. One single connection between all those names - Richard Clegg. How convenient to be a former recruit of CMS Cameron McKenna assigned to BTC (Richard Clegg); to have your wife (Anna Rizova-Clegg) made a sole local partner in a law firm (DLA Piper, note: launched by the previous sole partner of CMS Cameron McKenna - Peter Valert), and to have placed yourself in Wolf Theiss after leaving the chief legal counsel function in BTC (Richard Clegg). What a saga, right?! Even the cheap soap operas rarely allow themselves such amusing scenarios; and even the local "top" law practitioners (which have been through lots of suspicious transformations) can claim to have created such a fairytale. Congratulations to the lotto winners!
