Awards
We count our successes by the only metric that matters – results that help our clients to thrive. Which is not to say that awards aren’t nice, too. Recognition from organisations such as the Financial Times and The Lawyer only confirm what we’ve always said: broad regional experience and focused practice depth help our clients meet their goals.
Over the years, we’ve been consistently ranked among the leading law firms in CEE/SEE and we’ve won numerous awards.
Here are just a few.
