We’re excited to announce the members of the Final Selection Committee for the 2023 CEE Deals of the Year Awards, recognizing the largest and most important deals in Central and Eastern Europe!
The CEE Deals of the Year Awards have been granted since 2017 by CEE Legal Matters to celebrate the transactions, financings, IPOs, and other deals that underpin growth throughout the region, as well as the lawyers and law firms who make them happen.
The shortlists (available in full on the DOTY website here) are based on the Country Selection Committees’ votes on all the deals nominated across CEE. The shortlist for each country is based on the votes of the Country Selection Committee.
CEE Legal Matters Managing Editor Radu Cotarcea underscored the pivotal role played by the reputation and expertise of our Final Selection Committee members in ensuring the credibility and integrity of these awards. He emphasized, "Our awards thrive on the foundation of trust established by our Final Selection Committee members' outstanding credentials and expertise. We are privileged to count on the participation of all members of this distinguished panel."
The winners will be announced at the annual CEE Deals of the Year Banquet scheduled for April 25, 2024, in Warsaw. We’re particularly excited that this year's Gala Dinner will also be attended by all the General Counsel attending the two-day 2024 CEELM Regional GC Summit – co-hosted by Slaughter and May and sponsored by Act Legal, Addleshaw Goddard, Musat & Asociatii, PONTES, and PRK Partners.
