CEE Legal Matters has partnered with Ranking Copilot, the world’s first AI-powered platform built specifically for legal directory and award submissions.

As our Official Legal Tech Partner, Ranking Copilot will power the entire submission process for the 2025 CEE Deal of the Year Awards, introducing automation, structure, and AI-driven quality checks.

This collaboration marks a fundamental shift in how law firms handle submissions. Instead of re-entering the same information across multiple platforms, firms can now enter their deal and firm data once in Ranking Copilot and reuse it seamlessly across all major directories and awards – including CEE Legal Matters’ Deal of the Year Awards, Chambers, Legal 500, IFLR1000, and others.

The result: less time spent on administration, greater consistency, and higher-quality submissions across every major ranking.

Through the partnership, firms will have two options for their 2025 Deal of the Year entries:

• Traditional submission via CEELM’s standard form; or

• AI-enhanced submission through Ranking Copilot – featuring guided input, automated compliance checks, and a complimentary AI quality review that helps firms refine their entries before submission.

For firms already using Ranking Copilot for Chambers, Legal 500, or IFLR1000, the process becomes almost effortless: their data can be repurposed instantly for the Deal of the Year Awards.

“CEE Legal Matters has always championed innovation in how law firms showcase their work,” commented CEE Legal Matters Managing Editor Radu Cotarcea. “By partnering with Ranking Copilot, we’re giving firms a smarter, fairer, and more efficient way to present their deals – while keeping the high standards of integrity that define the Deal of the Year Awards.”

“We’re honored to become CEE Legal Matters’ Official Legal Tech Partner,” added Ranking Copilot Founder Dmytro Fedoruk. “Together, we’re building a future where one platform can power every major legal submission – from awards to directories – freeing firms to focus on what really matters: their work, their clients, and their success.”
