We’re excited to announce the shortlisted deals 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 – the leading source of news and information about the lawyers and legal industry in Central and Eastern Europe – 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 winners will be selected by a Final Selection Committee and announced at the annual CEE Deals of the Year Banquet scheduled for April 25, 2024, in Warsaw. More information about the awards and the banquet can be found here. We’re particularly excited that this year's Gala Dinner will also host 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 Musat & Asociatii, PONTES, and PRK Partners.
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’s Selection Committee.
