Snowdrops are usually the first flowers to emerge from the snow once winter is over. And the March issue is usually our first regular issue at the beginning of every year – it’s CEELM’s 10th Anniversary this year, so we should know. And seeing both together can only mean one thing: spring is here, with fresh energies and new projects all around. So, celebrate big milestones and new beginnings with a fresh copy of our magazine: The CEELM March 2023 issue is out now!
And energized we are. There’s a glint in our eye, and a spring in our step. So, we’ve lined up some extra content – and a DOTY announcement – to get the season growing, and made it available to everyone online:
- The 2022 CEE Deals of the Year Awards Shortlists – the finalists from each country, out of which the eventual 2022 DOTY winners will emerge. See you in Istanbul!
- The Debrief: March 2023 – a new section in the magazine that’s also making its debut online
- Building Resilience: Ukrainian Law Firms One Year into the War – a magazine article that’s both timely and time-sensitive
- Saving Slovenian Energy – a preview of our Slovenia Market Spotlight
- Local Roots and Regional Reach: The Difference a Decade Made for Austrian Firms – a preview of our Austria Market Spotlight
Subscribers should be receiving their hard copies in a week or two, and, as usual, the electronic version of the magazine is already available to them online here. The March issue includes Market Spotlights on Austria and Slovenia and an Experts Review section on Renewable Energy. The CEELM March 2023 issue in all its glory:
