Clifford Chance's Alex Cook joins the jury of CEE Deals of the Year Awards

Clifford Chance Prague's Managing Partner Alex Cook has been invited to join the elite panel of judges for the annual CEE Deals of the Year Awards, the prestigious peer-selected awards for the legal industry in Central and Eastern Europe.

Alex is an experienced English law qualified M&A lawyer who has been based in CEE since 1999, working on transactions across the region. Alex leads the CEE corporate practice. He was invited by CEE Legal Matters to join the five-person expert juries in the Czech Republic based on his reputation, expertise, and knowledge, as well as his established commitment to the development of the country's legal and commercial markets.

The CEE Deal of the Year Awards have been granted since 2017 by CEE Legal Matters, the leading source of news and information about the lawyers and legal industry in Central and Eastern Europe, to celebrate the transactions, financings, IPOs, and other deals that underpin growth throughout the region, as well as the lawyers and law firms who make them happen.

“The high regard with which the jurors are held in their markets, the respect they receive from their peers, and their reputations for perspective, intelligence, and understanding they have worked so effectively to create over the years are undeniable — not to mention their first-hand experience helping usher complex and sophisticated deals across the finish line,” said David Stuckey, the Director of the CEE Deal of the Year Awards for CEE Legal Matters.

The finalists for the CEE Deal of the Year will be identified in the March 2022 issue of the CEE Legal Matters magazine, and winners will be announced at the annual CEE Deal of the Year Banquet in London scheduled for April 5, 2022. More information about the awards and the banquet can be found at doty.ceelegalmatters.com.
