As one of the region’s most active and competitive legal markets, Bucharest offers a fitting backdrop to celebrate the deals, firms, and lawyers shaping the future of business and law across Central and Eastern Europe. Its vibrant legal community, international outlook, and dynamic energy make it the ideal stage for an evening of recognition, connection, and celebration.
This year’s Gala in Bucharest promises not only to honor excellence across the region, but also to bring together a truly pan-CEE audience in one of its most influential capitals.

No. Indeed, all steps have been taken to remove even the possibility of bias, as CEE Legal Matters plays no role in the voting, and members of the Final Selection Committee — themselves highly regarded and respected lawyers in CEE — are precluded from voting on any awards involving their firms or the markets they live in. This commitment to impartiality has made the peer-selected CEE Deals of the Year awards the most sought-after, respected, and prestigious in the region.
