The Shortlist Panels have submitted their votes, and the finalists for the 2021 Deal of the Year Awards across CEE have been announced today!
CEE Legal Matters received more submissions for the Deals of the Year in this, its fifth year of existence, than ever before – 319 submissions, from 108 law firms – reflecting a remarkable year of growth, cooperation, and expansion, all performed against a truly challenging backdrop.
The full shortlists for each award can be found on the CEELM Deals of the Year event website (here). In total, 151 firms from around the world have been involved in these deals and we wish every last one of them good luck in the final round of voting.
The final ballots, along with the relevant submissions and input from the Shortlist Panels, are now in the hands of this year’s Final Selection Committee.
Winners will be announced at the annual CEELM Deals of the Year Banquet in London, scheduled for April 5, 2022, in conjunction with the Dealer’s Choice International Law Firm Summit, co-hosted with Reed Smith.
Registration for the conference and awards banquet is now open on the event's website (here), with early bird rates available until March 1, 2022.
In the meantime, our thanks to everyone who submitted deals for consideration. We appreciate the time and effort that you put into the process, and we – like you – are eager to see the results and to celebrate the winners this spring in London. Good luck, one and all!
