AVELLUM’s managing partner Mykola Stetenko has been selected as a juror for the 2020 CEE Deals of the Year Awards — the most prestigious and sought-after peer-selected awards for the legal industry in Central and Eastern Europe.
The CEE Deals of the Year Awards were created in 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 reason — and the lawyers and law firms who make them happen. Five jurors are selected by CEE Legal Matters for each of the 24 jurisdictions in the region based on their reputation, expertise, knowledge, and established commitment to their markets.
“It is an honour to me and AVELLUM as a firm to be selected among just a few jurors for the Ukrainian jurisdiction and to be entrusted to vote for the most significant transactions in the region in 2020,” commented Mykola Stetsenko.
CEE Legal Matters’ Executive Editor David Stuckey, who oversees the selection of the jurors each year is thankful to Mykola for committing his time and effort to the process of evaluating and ranking the many submissions made by law firms in Ukraine.
“Jurors were selected based on our personal interactions with them, their reputation among their peers, and the kinds of deals they have ushered to completion themselves over the years,” Stuckey said. “It is difficult to imagine a more skilled or knowledgeable panel of legal experts in Ukraine. We are delighted and honored that Mykola agreed to participate, and the process is more trustworthy and reliable as a result.”
The finalists for the CEE Deal of the Year in Ukraine will be listed in the March 2021 issue of the CEE Legal Matters magazine, and winners will be announced at the annual CEE Deal of the Year Banquet, scheduled on June 3, 2021.
