Did you know that, according to the Activity Rankings function of the CEELMDirect website, of the 88 law firm partners who have reported working on disputes in CEE over the past 12 months, only nine have reported working on more than one?

Litigation is an under-reported practice area, in large part as, generally, only the attorneys who win for their clients choose to report their work. In this context, it is perhaps particularly impressive that nine lawyers have reported working on multiple litigation matters since April 2023.

That group is led by CMS’s Kostadin Sirleshtov and Sayenko Kharenko’s Yaroslav Ognevyuk, both of whom reported working on four disputes concluded over the past year. Sirleshtov has been particularly busy in 2024, in fact, as three of the four disputes he’s worked on over the past 12 months were reported in the first three months of 2024.

Bogdan Gecic of Gecic Law, who has worked on three matters in the past twelve months (including two reported so far in 2024), is close behind in third place.

A total of six lawyers have reported working on two litigation matters over the past twelve months: Asters’ Julia Semeniy, Zivkovic Samardzic’s Kruna Savovic, Baker McKenzie’s Marcin Trepka, Ilyashev & Partners’ Mikhail Ilyashev, Gecic Law’s Ognjen Colic, and Cobalt’s Sandija Novicka.
