Daniela is cultivating a robust foundation for expanding her legal practice into international arbitration through her dedicated engagement with the MIDS program. Her endeavors are firmly underpinned by over a decade of distinguished experience as attorney specializing in construction and property law, complemented by extensive expertise in ancillary domains such as spatial planning and commercial transactions pertaining to the establishment and conveyance of property rights and easements.

Daniela has a distinguished expertise in legal advisory work across a diverse spectrum of legal fields. Her experience spans major residential projects and infrastructure projects, including the construction and rehabilitation of irrigation systems in Bulgaria. She provides legal support in negotiation and implementation of standard-form contracts issued by the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC).

She is keen to explore the integration of modern technologies into legal practice shaped by the growing influence of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Daniela is part of a team developing an online dispute resolution platform, acknowledging that alternative dispute resolution methods are playing an increasingly prominent role in the legal field as more responsive and adaptive mechanisms for resolving conflicts.
