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.

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.
