We would like ti extend big thanks to Kavcic, Bracun and Partners (KBP), our Slovenian partner in Adriala network who led the deal across several jurisdictions and won the same award for Slovenia and Montenegro.

Winners of this year’s Deal of the Year Awards were announced on April 25, in Istanbul, during the CEE Legal Matters Deals of the Year Awards Banquet. The black-tie Deal of the Year Awards Banquet, which ran in conjunction with the CEE General Counsel Summit, recognized and celebrated the largest and most important deals in Central and Eastern Europe. This was the most competitive year to date, with the jury voting on a record number of submissions, making the ultimate winners all the more worthy of praise. And, without further ado, the winners of each Country Deal of the Year, as well as the winners of the CEE Deal of the Year are:

“The significance of the NLB´s Acquisition of N Banka d.d. deal was, ultimately, impossible for the two-tiered panel of voters to ignore, despite the fact that this year’s line-up of deals was the most competitive to date,” commented CEE Legal Matters Managing Editor Radu Cotarcea. “Our congratulations go out to BOPA for the critical role they played in making this deal happen and we’re looking forward to reporting on, and perhaps celebrate similar awards for, their future deals.”

“This prestigious award is not only a recognition of our hard work but also a reminder of our commitment to providing exceptional legal services to our clients. We will continue to strive for excellence in everything we do and remain dedicated to delivering the best possible outcomes for our clients. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our clients for entrusting us with their business and legal matters. It is an honor to be part of their success stories.” said BOPA Managing Partner Vladimir Bojanovic.
