The CEE Deal of the Year Awards celebrate the most significant and impactful deals in Central and Eastern Europe. Since its launch in 2017, the awards have honored excellence in legal and transactional achievements across the CEE region. Over the years, winners have been announced at Our Deal of the Year Awards banquets in cities like Prague, Budapest, London, Istanbul, and Warsaw. When in-person events were disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, winners were recognized in the pages of CEE Legal Matters magazine.
The 2026 Deal of the Year Awards Gala will continue this proud tradition, bringing together the region’s top legal professionals and decision-makers.
In addition to senior representatives of law firms nominated for the awards, this year’s Gala Dinner will host all General Counsel attending the 2026 CEELM Regional GC Summit.
