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.
The Clifford Chance CEE team includes offices in Poland, Romania and the Czech Republic from where the firm also covers Slovakia.
Nadia Badea, Clifford Chance Partner and head of the Bucharest M&A Real Estate Practice, said: "We are an international company with a Tier 1 transactional and advisory practice that is constantly consolidating its presence in Central and Eastern Europe. The award given by Mergermarket acknowledges our performance and quality of the portfolio we build every day alongside our colleagues in the region and the global Clifford Chance network.”
