Did you know that Dentons worked on more reported client matters in Central and Eastern Europe in 2022 – 86 – than any other firm (with Sorainen only one behind), and that Andrzej Stosio of Clifford Chance in Poland worked on more client matters than any other lawyer in the region – 13 (with Mantas Petkevicius of Sorainen in Lithuania and Roxana Ionescu of Radu Taracila Padurari Retevoescu in Romania both only one behind, with 12)?

In fact, the Activity Rankings feature of CEELM Direct – a simple menu tab that anybody/everybody can use – allows users to determine which firms and which lawyers reported working on the most client matters in any given time period. Thus, in what will become an annual tradition, we hereby report the firms and lawyers that worked on the most reported client matters in each market from January 1 through December 31, 2022, followed by the relevant number.

Want to know which firms and which lawyers were in second place, or third, or in the top ten? If you’re a lawyer or a law firm marketing specialist, do you want to know where you or your firm finished in the annual rankings – and how close you and it were to the top? Visit the CEELM Direct website, click on the Activity Rankings function, and find out!
