Central and eastern Europe (CEE) is a diverse market where investors frequently need lawyers with international perspective and experience who know and understand the local business and legal environment. Local companies increasingly require advice on international matters, especially those from countries that have recently acceded to the EU.

As one of the leading international law firms, with offices in Europe, the US and Asia, we are able to leverage our expertise to advise clients on the fast-changing legal and regulatory environment in the region in a commercial and proactive manner.

We advise on transactions in the following countries:

Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the Republic of Moldova, Poland, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovakia and Slovenia.

We have been active in the region for many years, and our involvement with the region continues to grow. As well as having offices in the region we have central and eastern Europe specialists in Austria, Germany, the UK and several other countries and have built up strong long-term relationships with a number of local lawyers throughout the region.

Our specialists share an understanding of central and eastern European business, legal systems and culture and speak the languages of the region. By bringing together the resources of our specialist geographic teams with the sector and product expertise available through our network of international offices and, where appropriate, the best local law firms for particular transactions, we have the strength to provide clients with an outstanding level of service on all kinds of transactions and disputes.
