As we flip through the pages of time, CEE Legal Matters is not just celebrating another year – but its 10th Anniversary. Exactly 10 years ago, on December 19, 2013, we published our first news item and, after that, it’s been quite a ride. In this extra special December 2023 issue, we’re taking a stroll down legal memory lane, checking out how things have evolved in the last 10 years, and looking into our crystal ball for some predictions for the upcoming decade.
On reaching this milestone, we’d like to say a big THANK YOU! to all of you – our fantastic readers and contributors – who’ve been on this rollercoaster with us. Cheers for the laughs, the serious discussions, and the occasional legal drama!
Needless to say, as a special issue, the December magazine is available to subscribers and non-subscribers alike, right from the start (here in pdf and here in electronic format), and includes:
