Summer was expected to be slower, yet lawyers across CEE report that “holiday mode” was mostly theoretical. The pace stayed high, giving rise to questions about what Q4 has in store for us. Issue 12.8 doesn’t claim to have all the answers – but it has some of the best stories we could find.
Subscribers should be receiving their hard copies in a week or two, but no need to wait for the mail to arrive: the online version of the magazine is already available here.
