Gecić Law has once again set a benchmark for excellence and innovation. This year, we are proud to announce that our firm has been Commended as one of the top three in the fiercely competitive Law Firm of the Year: South Eastern Europe category at The Lawyer European Awards 2024.
The term ‘commended’ signifies recognition for outstanding achievement and performance, ranking just below the top award. In this case, it means we have been awarded third place among the best law firms in a region encompassing over 150 million people—a testament to our exceptional dedication, innovation, and impact.
This commendation highlights more than just our standing as leaders in South Eastern Europe. It underscores our role as innovators in the legal profession, redefining what it means to excel in a dynamic and competitive landscape.
The journey to this recognition was extraordinary: we were shortlisted in an impressive three categories this year, an achievement that speaks to the depth and diversity of our expertise. Beyond our commendation in the South Eastern Europe category, we were finalists for European Litigation Team of the Year and European Finance Team of the Year, sharing the stage with some of the most renowned global firms, including Latham & Watkins, Arthur Cox, and BonelliErede. Notably, we were the only firm from our region to reach the finals in not one but two transactional categories—an accomplishment that stands as a rare and exceptional feat.
From historic wins in 2020 and 2021 to securing nominations in four categories in 2022, and this year’s extraordinary triple-finalist performance, Gecić Law has consistently raised the bar. Our unwavering commitment to delivering results, embracing innovation, and redefining legal standards has positioned us as a transformative force in the global legal market.
This year’s commendation is not merely an acknowledgment of past successes; it represents our commitment to consistently pushing boundaries, challenging conventions, and driving progress for the legal profession in the region and beyond.
At the heart of our success is a team of exceptional individuals guided by a common vision of fostering talent, empowering people, and nurturing the leaders of tomorrow. Our collaborative culture drives growth, fuels innovation, and ensures we consistently deliver exceptional results for our clients and communities.
Our ethos is defined by adaptability, agility, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. By rapidly acquiring and implementing new knowledge, we have established ourselves as leaders in an ever-changing legal landscape, constantly evolving to meet the needs of our clients and the market.
This commendation is more than just recognition; it’s a celebration of a movement—a movement rooted in fearless innovation, unwavering dedication, and a passion for reshaping the legal profession. At Gecić Law, we are not just lawyers; we are architects of solutions, navigating complexities and creating impact in an interconnected global economy.
Our recognition at The Lawyer European Awards 2024 reinforces our mission to redefine what a law firm can achieve. As we look ahead, we remain committed to pioneering new ideas, elevating standards, and delivering unparalleled value to our clients and communities.
Bogdan Gecić, Founding Partner, captured the spirit of this achievement: “This commendation celebrates our team’s relentless commitment and pioneering spirit. It is a testament to our shared vision of challenging limits, creating impact, and reimagining the future of law. Every step forward strengthens our belief in building a more innovative and interconnected future for our clients, profession, and region. Being recognized among Europe’s best is both an honor and a call to continue leading with excellence.”
