CEE Legal Matters is excited to unveil its 2024 editorial calendar, offering you an overview of our timeline in terms of the CEE Legal Matters Magazine, our Comparative Guides, and our CEE In-House Matter Magazine and to announce the Open Call for the submissions for the Deal of the Year Awards and for the Annual Table of Deals.
Editorial Calendar
The full editorial calendar is available below or you can download it here.
We are also delighted to announce that it is now accepting (early) submissions for the 2023 Table of Deals and nominations for the 2023 CEE Deal of the Year Awards!
Similar to last year, to avoid the situation where law firms would have to scramble fresh between the year closing and our tight deadlines, we’ve set up a system to allow for early and rolling submissions for both the Table of Deals and the CEE Deal of the Year Awards.
As of now, you can already look at the deals closed this year and submit them for consideration for the CEE Deal of the Year Awards. You do not need to be worried that you’ll use up your limit of three submissions – we’ll be taking in submissions now and firms that submit more than three between now and the deadline, will be able to pick which one they want to put forward as their final submission.
And we’ve introduced an early submissions system for the 2023 Table of Deals as well!
