Clifford Chance has been recognized as the Central & Eastern European M&A Legal Adviser of the Year at Mergermarket's annual European M&A Awards ceremony held in London, last week.
40 winners in European financial and legal advisory have been selected, following a rigorous judging process that included the analysis of Mergermarket's market-leading league tables and a scrutiny by a panel of expert judges.
The period under review is for deals announced between 1st October 2018 to 30th September 2019 - a full twelve months of activity. There is only one winner per category, which means an M&A Award from Mergermarket is true recognition of an outstanding year.
The Clifford Chance award confirms the firm's solid foothold and reputation in the region. Separately, Chambers Europe 2019 has ranked Clifford Chance as a Tier 1 firm in Corporate/M&A, as well as Banking & Finance in Central & Eastern Europe.
