With preparations for the 2025 CEE Legal Matters Regional General Counsel Summit and Deal of the Year awards gala in Prague in full swing, Marton Eorsi, a Corporate Finance Partner at Addleshaw Goddard’s London office, shares his thoughts about the upcoming event and what he's looking forward to the most.
CEELM: Why did Addleshaw Goddard decide to participate in the CEE Legal Matters Regional GC Summit in Prague?
Eorsi: Our decision to participate was driven by our commitment to engaging with those events that perfectly align with our CEE strategy. We focus on upper mid-market corporates in the region—dynamic, international companies that see themselves as global players and seek to operate in a cross-border capacity.
This summit perfectly matches the environment in which we operate and aspire to grow. Moreover, the event is specifically designed with General Counsels in mind, which offers a more strategic and impactful approach than events centered solely on law firms.
CEELM: What are you most looking forward to at the GC Summit?
Eorsi: I’m excited to hear directly from General Counsels about the opportunities and risks they face—these are the very insights that help us stay ahead of the curve with timely advice and allow us to be properly prepared for any and all potential needs our clients might have.
Beyond the formal sessions, the summit promises a vibrant cultural and social experience, enriched by the famous Eastern European hospitality. The blend of technical sessions and networking opportunities is something I’m very much looking forward to and I genuinely can't wait for it all to start.
CEELM: Why should General Counsels make sure to attend this summit?
Eorsi: With our new office opening in Warsaw and our strong commitment to the CEE region, we are demonstrating our dedication to serving our clients in a focused and strategic way—and being present is the best way to do so. We wish to invite General Counsels to experience firsthand the effort and expertise that Addleshaw Goddard brings to the table. Our Warsaw presence is a tangible sign of our commitment, and we hope it underscores the value we place on building lasting partnerships.
Furthermore, I firmly believe that the summit is a fantastic opportunity to connect with new colleagues and reconnect with familiar faces. It’s all about strengthening existing relationships and forging new ones—showing that we not only talk the talk but also walk the walk. I’m confident this event will pave the way for even stronger client collaborations in the future, for all attendees.
