We skipped on the darkness bit – as you can see, the new CEELM Index 2022 issue is quite the colorful one. In case you were wondering what ‘they’ are, it’s no secret: our yearly Index issue aggregates all client matters we’ve covered over the past year (and some that we’ve not), provides insights (and stats) into the work of law firms and lawyers across the region and, perhaps most importantly, includes a list of all the 2022 Deal of the Year submissions. The CEELM Index 2022 Is Out Now!
As a special issue, the 2022 Index is available to both subscribers and non-subscribers right off the bat (here in e-reader format and here in pdf). Subscribers should be receiving their hard copies within a fortnight – but patience is advised. The issue is a hefty one, and the weather isn’t exactly balmy. A definitive guide to all the legal work carried out in 2022 across CEE – and a sneak peek at the year’s DOTY hopefuls – the CEELM Index 2022 includes:
