CEE presents a unique blend of opportunities and challenges for businesses seeking to leverage outsourced IT services. Countries in this region offer a combination of technical expertise, linguistic capabilities, and cultural compatibility, making them attractive destinations for outsourcing. However, navigating the legal frameworks of multiple jurisdictions requires a nuanced understanding of local laws and regulatory requirements. CMS offers extensive experience in assisting IT companies with their outsourcing needs in the region.

Check out my list of main business projects statements, announcements and press-releases made at Ukraine Recovery Conference 2024 in Berlin in one place.

Significant representative actions may affect the entire portfolio of products or services and generate financial, reputational and organisational risks. They may also absorb large quantities of director time and divert attention from core operations. Employee time may also be taken up, for example, dealing with investigations. In the face of widespread publicity, representative actions may have a negative impact on sales and consumer confidence. Our new Advising the Board report on CEE Directors' Risk is looking at the novelties and specifics of the Representative Actions Directive (RAD) from the perspectives of the following countries: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia.
