We’ve been discussing Energy as a top issue in CEE since at least the beginning of 2022. We’ve been previewing this focus with Energy articles in the last couple of magazines. It’s now finally here: a magazine fully focused on Energy and two of the CEE countries at the center of the Energy transition debate – the Czech Republic and Poland. The CEE Legal Matters July 2022 issue is out now!
Subscribers should be receiving their hard copies in a week or two and the electronic version is already available online here. Whether you’re recharging your batteries on vacation or braving the heatwave and (probably) using a bunch of energy to cool your office and/or home, this topical issue with Market Spotlights on the Czech Republic and Poland and an Experts Review section focusing on Energy includes:
