Before turning the page to 2026, we’re here with the final CEE Legal Matters Issue 12.11, bringing together stories that help make sense of where this year leaves us. We’ll be back in 2026 with more magazines, events, and news, but for now, enjoy the read, hopefully with a warm drink, something ginger on the table, and the familiar mood of late December. On behalf of the whole CEE Legal Matters team, we wish you a very happy holiday season!
