Eversheds Sutherland's Central and Eastern Europe group
How can we help?
Within a global legal practice our Central Eastern Europe (CEE) Group provides a strong regional perspective. Boasting strong relationships with businesses and government organizations, the CEE Group has a deep position in the local market, offering innovative project management and advice tailored to the needs of each individual business.
Increasingly, we are called upon to act on multi-jurisdictional projects. With a one-team approach uniting our offices across Romania, Hungary, Poland, Germany, Austria and the Czech and Slovak republics, we are able to service these requests via a single point of contact. We also provide access to a diverse range of sector knowledge including technology, digitalization and the crypto-world.
