Nikola Vanev

Legal Account Manager

Bulgaria

RESPONSIBILITIES
Nikola joined our team in 2025 and in his role as Legal Account Manager he looks after a portfolio of Capital Markets clients and helps to ensure that their corporate entities stay in good legal standing and meet all regulatory requirements. A big part of his work involves guiding clients through the different stages of their company’s lifecycle – from incorporation and onboarding to routine maintenance and, when needed, dissolution. He also works on preparing and reviewing a range of corporate documents, such as board and shareholder resolutions, transaction and loan documents, and service agreements. Nikola serves as the main point of contact for clients and coordinates with external advisors, banks, and authorities to keep processes moving smoothly and clearly.

FOCUS
In his role, he focuses on ensuring the smooth coordination of the full lifecycle of our Capital Markets clients, with particular attention to maintaining regulatory accuracy and consistent corporate compliance. He prioritizes clear communication, process efficiency, and high‑quality support across all client interactions. Additionally, he focus on developing strong working relationships and contributing to the steady growth and operational stability of our Irish Capital Markets portfolio.

EDUCATION
Nikola holds a Master of Law from Sofia University, where he built a solid grounding in legal reasoning and regulatory structures. He later completed an Advanced LL.M. in International and European Business Law at KU Leuven, where he focused on law and finance through courses in banking regulation, financial regulation, and funds and investment management. He has also completed several professional programs, including mediation certifications (IMI‑Qualified Mediator and registered mediator with the Bulgarian Ministry of Justice) and finance‑related certificates such as Corporate Finance Foundations.

WORK EXPERIENCE
Before joining Trustmoore, he worked at the international law firm Wolf Theiss, where he was involved in competition, compliance, and M&A matters. He supported cross‑border merger filings, worked on due diligence for international transactions, and assisted with drafting commercial contracts and policy documents. Earlier experiences, including a traineeship at the Sofia Regional Court, helped him develop strong research skills and exposed him to practical legal reasoning and courtroom procedure. These roles collectively shaped his analytical approach and his ability to manage detail‑heavy, cross‑jurisdictional work.
