  • Lest You Forget: DOTY Winners To Be Announced Soon!

    The past 15 months have been a whirlwind of canceled plans and upset expectations. Against this backdrop, good news about something predictable and reliable is always welcome. So let us throw some at you: The winners of the CEE Legal Matters 2020 Deals of the Year Awards will be announced on the CEE Legal Matters website in less than two weeks, on June 3, 2021.

    Despite a lingering (but weakening!) global pandemic, nominees for this year’s DOTY awards – the most prestigious peer-awarded legal awards in Central and Eastern Europe – reflect a remarkable diversity of deals types, from traditional financings, to IPOs, to big-ticket M&As, and from real estate to energy to investments in major industrial commitments, with everything in-between.

    Unsurprisingly, there’s a wide range of nominees in contention this year as well. A total of 134 different firms worked on deals shortlisted for the 2020 DOTYs, led by Schoenherr, which worked on 14 different shortlisted deals, and Allen & Overy, which worked on 12 shortlisted deals, each in 9 countries.

    The final nominees for the 2020 CEE Deals of the Year were announced two months ago, and can be found here.

    The actual awards will be handed out to winners at the highly-anticipated Deal of the Year Awards Banquet in London on September 16, 2021, at which point CEE Legal Matters will also announce the winners of the overall CEE Deal of the Year as well. The awards banquet will finish a day that begins with the third Dealer’s Choice conference – the largest gathering of professionals from CEE’s legal community in history, and the first-ever event of its kind to be held in the English capital.

    More details about tickets to those joint events will be coming soon.

     

  • Better Late Than Never: Special Annual Table of Deals Issue of CEE Legal Matters Magazine Out Now

    Look, we know it’s a little bit late. But what are you going to do? The preparation of our annual CEELM Index issue, consisting of the massive Table of Deals and illuminating tables and rankings, takes time. But breathe easy, because that period of preparation is over, and the special May 2021 issue of the CEE Legal Matters magazine is here!

    This special issue is focused on one thing: The 2020 Table of Deals, reflecting all 1,923 2020 client matters reported to CEE Legal Matters (along with valuable rankings, tables, and summaries). The issue is out now in electronic form (here) and, unlike most issues of our magazine, is publicly available, with hard copies of the magazine on their way to subscribers around the world.

    Eagle-eyed followers of our website will have noticed that the table is already available on it as well (here) in a digital version that allows for searching and sorting, with each entry linking to the relevant coverage on the CEELM website, where it exists.

    As always, the publication of the issue means that the issue from two months ago — in this case, the March 2021 issue — has been moved from behind the paywall and is now available to subscribers and non-subscribers alike (here in e-reader format and here in pdf).

  • Sweet Anticipation: New Dates for 2021 Dealer’s Choice Conference and Deal of the Year Awards Banquet

    To allow the countries of Europe a few extra months to pursue their vaccination programs against the Covid-19 virus so that the lawyers of CEE are able to gather together in person, CEE Legal Matters has rescheduled the 2021 Dealer’s Choice International Law Firm Summit and Deal of the Year Awards Banquet to September 16, 2021.

    The joint events – the Dealer’s Choice conference, scheduled for the day of the 16th, and the DOTY Awards Banquet, scheduled for that evening – will be held at the HAC in London.

    Excitement about the events remains high, and the event sponsors are enthusiastic about the opportunity to reconnect. “I think everyone misses having direct interaction with clients and peers,” said Oana Ijdelea, the Co-Managing Partner of Ijdelea Mihailescu, the exclusive Dealer’s Choice Sponsor for Romania. For Ijdelea, the opportunity to meet counterparts and peers in person is critical. “Doing business development in the old days required traveling, sometimes to new places, which was an important and fun part of the experience. Humans are social creatures by nature and function at their best when they interact with each-other, making communication easier, more straightforward, and ultimately better. The value and power of a hand-shake or a live smile cannot be replaced by technology.”

    Raf Uzar, Head of Communication and Development at Penteris, the exclusive Dealer’s Choice Sponsor for Poland, agrees that the face-to-face element of the event is a necessary part of every modern law firm’s business model, noting that “effective BD is, after all, a wholly ‘human’ enterprise.”

    Victor Gugushev, Partner at Gugushev & Partners, a member firm of the Pontes the CEE Lawyers legal alliance, which is a Regional Sponsor of the event, described himself as “thrilled to visit the CEE Dealer’s Choice Conference – to meet colleagues from the region, who have to deal with the same demands as we do.”

    Finally, Erdem Basgul, the Managing Partner of Basgul, declared himself “thrilled” to be the exclusive Dealer’s Choice Sponsor for Turkey. According to him, “our attorneys have a solid track record in providing the precise, tailored, and reliable local advice that the London market is looking for. This conference offers a unique opportunity to put the word out.”

    Further information about tickets, logistical arrangements, and sponsorship opportunities at the Dealer’s Choice International Law Firm Summit or 2021 Deal of the Year Awards Banquet can be found on the event website (here), or by contacting CEE Legal Matters at radu.cotarcea@ceelm.com.

  • All 2020 CEE Deals of the Year Submissions

    The CEE Deals of the Year Awards continue to grow in popularity, and by this, their fourth year, they have become a fundamental part of the commercial legal industry in Central and Eastern Europe, interwoven into the fabric of the year.

    The importance of the awards was reflected both in the impressive profiles of the legal experts who agreed to review and judge all the submissions (see page 74), but also in the urgency with which firms labored to meet the deadline or begged permission to exceed it, and – sometimes – the emotion they put into their pleas that the eligibility criteria should be expanded.

    Impressively, we received a total of 269 eligible submissions this year, from 95 different law firms, reflecting the work of a total of 278 law firms. Yes, this represents a slight drop – about 7% – from last year’s 288 submissions. But considering these deals were executed and these submissions made against the background of a year-long pandemic that put entire economies under pressure, under the circumstances … that’s remarkable.

    The finalists for each country will be announced in the March 2021 issue of the CEE Legal Matters magazine, and winners will be announced at the annual CEE Deals of the Year Awards Banquet scheduled – COVID-permitting – for June 3, 2021.

    In the meantime, thank you to all who submitted deals. We appreciate the time and effort that you put into the process, and we – like you – are eager to see the results.

    Good luck, one and all!
