Salans wins emeafinance magazine Best Legal Firm in CEE & CIS (Capital Markets and Corporate Actions) for its achievements and success in 2009.

Salans works with EBRD in several CEE countries, its strong footprint across the entire region combined with an impressive banking client list in Poland were amongst the deciding factors that set the firm apart from its competitors. In awarding Salans, emeafinance magazine said: “Our choice for the region’s best law firm is Salans, whose corporate and capital markets work across the region showed its skill in guiding emerging-market companies through their transactions at a time when many dealmakers have shelved any ambitious plans”.
Tomasz Dąbrowski, managing partner Salans Warsaw, commented on the remarkable success: “This prominent CEE & CIS legal award is a testimony that our scope of operations and lasting investments in the CEE are paying dividends even in difficult economic times.”
This year was the magazine’s first to include legal firm awards in their CEE & CIS awards. The winners were recognised based on the deals accomplished throughout 2009, nature of the work completed (including an analysis of clients and outcomes) and recognition of firms that have a strong presence across the region.
The awards were granted at the official award ceremony (Achievement Awards Charity Dinner) held on 9 June in London.
