Mavericks ranked first among law firms in CEE by number of VC deals in the third quarter of 2025. The ranking reflects work across investment stages, from pre-seed rounds to Series B.
Mavericks (now known as Ambit) ranked first among law firms in CEE in the PitchBook League Tables for Q3 2025, measured by the number of VC deals. The transactions covered a broad range of company stages, from pre-seed investments and growth rounds to Series B. The result reflects the confidence clients place in us and the work of the whole team.
What the quarterly ranking measures
PitchBook ranks legal advisers by the number of completed transactions in a given category and region. Here, the category is VC deals in CEE during the third quarter. The ranking counts transactions rather than assessing their value or making a subjective judgement about advisers. PitchBook draws on its platform, public sources and information reported by firms, which it verifies.
A quarterly position offers a snapshot of market activity during a defined period. It follows our previous milestone, when we retained first place in CEE in the 2024 annual league table. Each period brings a different set of transactions and companies at different stages of development. Across them, founders and investors need clear investment documentation and well-structured relationships.
Legal work across stages of growth
The range from pre-seed investments to Series B reflects the different legal questions faced by startups and investors. At an early stage, the focus is often on founder arrangements and the terms of the first investment. As a company grows, rounds can involve more complex structures, further investor requirements and preparation for the next stage of funding. Our venture capital practice therefore supports both pre-seed and seed investments and Series A and growth rounds.
In November, we were also recognised by IFLR1000 in three areas: M&A, Banking and finance, and Capital markets: Debt. This recognition relates to other areas of our legal work and complements our long-standing focus on growing companies and investment. For clients, what matters is the ability to combine transaction experience with practical legal advice.
We thank our clients for their trust and the Mavericks team for the care and focus they bring to every deal. The ranking reflects that collaboration and the activity of the clients we advise.
