What leadership quality of yours is key in your role as managing partner?

For me, the key leadership quality is the ability to build trust. In the legal profession, trust is not an abstract value – it is built in specific situations where business, reputation and the clients' future are at stake.

Clients turn to us in moments of risk and uncertainty. At such times, the lawyer is not simply a legal expert, but a strategic adviser – the person who assesses legal risks, sees opportunities and leads towards a solution.

As a managing partner, I believe that a strong team is built through clarity and honesty, consistency, shared responsibility and high-level expertise. That is what creates trust – both within the team and with clients.

How has the legal profession changed over the years?

Our profession, like our entire way of life, has changed with the emergence of artificial intelligence. Clients now have access to vast amounts of information, including through AI. But they are not simply looking for information – they are looking for a solution that works.

They are looking for a trusted adviser who understands their business, anticipates legal risks and offers sustainable solutions. We have clients who have been with us for over 20 years, and we grow alongside them and their businesses, protecting their interests.

In recent years, I have been working very actively on strategic family succession planning in business. Many entrepreneurs build companies with energy and vision, but rarely structure the business succession and really prepare the next generation to take charge of it. My role is to help organise and protect these businesses, so they can continue to develop beyond their founders.

What is your advice to young women who choose to become lawyers?

Invest in your knowledge and be patient. Law is a highly demanding discipline. It requres analytical thinking, persistence and drive. True authority is built over years of work, consistency and reputation.

Years ago, a client gave me an executive chair with the wish that I would feel as comfortable in my new seat as I make him feel secure in his business. For me, this symbolises the essence of the profession – to create trust and legal certainty.

Адв. Петя Мургова: Клиентите не търсят информация от адвоката, а решение

С над 30 години опит адв. Петя Мургова и екипът на "Мургова и партньори" подпомагат бизнеса по сложни и ключови казуси, като осигуряват стратегическа яснота, защита и правна сигурност.

Кое ваше лидерско качество е ключово в работата ви като управляващ съдружник?

За мен ключовото лидерско качество е способността да изграждаш доверие. В адвокатската професия доверието не е абстрактна стойност – то се изгражда в конкретни ситуации, в които са заложени бизнес, репутация и бъдеще.

Клиентите се обръщат към нас в моменти на риск и несигурност. Тогава адвокатът не е просто юрист, а стратегически съветник – човекът, който оценява правните рискове, вижда възможностите и води към решение.

Като управляващ съдружник вярвам, че силният екип се изгражда чрез яснота и честност, последователност, споделена отговорност и висока експертност  – това е, което създава доверие – както вътре в екипа, така и към клиентите.

Как се промени професията на адвоката през годините?

Професията ни, както и целият ни живот, е различен след навлизането на изкуствения интелект.  Клиентите имат достъп до огромно количество информация, включително чрез изкуствен интелект. Но те не търсят просто информация – те търсят работещо решение.

Те търсят доверен съветник, който едновременно разбира техния бизнес, предвижда правните рискове и предлага устойчиви решения. Ние имаме клиенти, които са с нас повече от 20 години, и растем с тях и бизнеса им и пазим гърбовете им.

В последните години работя много активно по темата за стратегическото планиране на приемствеността в бизнеса (family succession). Много предприемачи създават компании с енергия и визия, но рядко структурират приемствеността в бизнеса и реално подготвят следващото поколение да встъпи. Моята работа е да помогна този бизнес да бъде подреден и защитен, така че да продължи да се развива и след своите създатели.

Какъв е вашият съвет към младите жени, които избират да станат адвокати?

Инвестирайте в знанията си и бъдете търпеливи. Правото е много изискваща дисциплина. Необходима е комбинация от аналитично мислене, постоянство и хъс. Истинският авторитет се изгражда с години работа, последователност и репутация.

Преди години клиент ми подари директорски стол с пожелание да се чувствам толкова удобно с моя нов стол, колкото аз го карам да се чувства сигурен в своя бизнес. За мен това символизира същността на професията – да създаваш доверие и правна сигурност.
