We may have taken our sweet time with this one – but isn’t that the spirit of the season? Fresh off the glittering CEE Winter Gala in Budapest – where lawyers traded legal briefs for cocktails and celebrated the highs of 2024 – the December issue of CEE Legal Matters is finally here! Whether you’re wrapping presents, baking gingerbread, or just catching your breath amid the holiday buzz, let’s dive into the stories shaping the CEE legal markets as we head into 2025!

As we count down to the gathering at the CEE Winter Gala in Budapest – a night to toast this year’s wins and weather its challenges with colleagues and friends – Issue 11.10 of the CEE Legal Matters magazine arrives to keep these cold November days a bit warmer.

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. It would be terrible if we just skipped from September to November, wouldn’t it?” (L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables). At CEE Legal Matters, we couldn’t agree more. With the Hungarian General Counsel Summit, scheduled for October 8, 2024, fast approaching and the release of the CEE Legal Matters Corporate Counsel Handbook just last week ago, the October fun continues. The latest 11.9 Issue of CEE Legal Matters is out now – a perfect time for staying up-to-date as we head into the year’s final quarter!

After two long years, we’re back with a brand-new edition of the CEE Legal Matters Corporate Counsel Handbook – your go-to guide for all things in-house legal! Packed with insights from GCs all over CEE, this issue covers everything from team leadership and budget hacks to risk management, compliance, working with external counsel, and so much more. Whether you’re an in-house pro looking to shake things up or a law firm eager to get inside the minds of your corporate clients, the 2024 CEE Legal Matters Corporate Counsel Handbook has something for everyone!

What a summer it’s been, and the season isn’t over yet! Whether you’re enjoying a well-deserved escape, hiking through cool mountain trails, swimming in crystal-clear waters, or finding a moment of peace at home or air-conditioned cafe, Issue 11.7 of CEE Legal Matters is here to keep you company.

A cool issue for hot summer days! Whether sipping a chilled beverage under the shade on a beach or simply trying to survive under your (hopefully not office’s!) AC, the cool CEE Legal Matters DOTY Special Issue – celebrating the 2023 CEE Deal of the Year Award winners from each country – is out for your reading pleasure!

June is here, bringing the promise of sun-drenched days and the buzz of a new season in CEE. Our latest Issue 11.5 of the CEE Legal Matters magazine – focusing on the Romanian and Moldovan markets and with an Experts Review section on Infrastructure/PPP – is here to accompany you wherever summer takes you!

Another month passed and, with 2024 well underway, all eyes are on the horizon for the DOTYs and GC Summit in Warsaw. While the countdown continues, here’s something to help pass the time – why not grab your coffee, step outside, and enjoy reading in the refreshing spring air? Issue 11.3 of the CEE Legal Matters Magazine is out now!

Having successfully hosted a couple of events – Warsaw was fantastic (!) – there was little time to settle back in the office. We diligently worked to bring you the latest edition of the magazine and we’re happy to announce that the CEE Legal Matters May 2024 issue is now out!

As the chill of winter gradually gives way to the warmth of early March, and the date for the DOTYs and the GC Summit in Warsaw draws closer, we’re delighted to announce the release of the latest Issue 11.2 of the CEE Legal Matters Magazine!

In hindsight, 2023 was marked by significant moves and shakes in CEE, as demonstrated by 82 pages of aggregated summaries of the most active firms and partners in each country, a full list of all the 376 deals submitted for consideration for the 2023 DOTY awards, and the 2023 Table of Deals, with a whopping 1,666 client matters. That said, the CEELM Index 2024 special issue is now out!

We hope the winter holidays wrapped you in joy and festive cheer. Whether you’re back at work or still curled up by the fireplace and sipping hot cocoa, we’re sure you’ll enjoy the fresh issue of the CEE Legal Matters Magazine!
