Litigation
Business disputes are stressful and time-consuming — especially in a legal environment that may be unfamiliar to foreign companies.
I help clients understand their position, evaluate the available options and choose the most effective legal strategy.
My focus is always on practical solutions that protect the client's interests and avoid unnecessary escalation.
Early-stage dispute management
Most conflicts can be addressed before they reach litigation.
I assist clients by:
▪ assessing the legal and financial risks
▪ preparing formal notices and responses
▪ negotiating with the counterparty
▪ identifying settlement opportunities
▪ advising on strategy and next steps
Clear communication at this stage often saves significant time and cost.
Litigation and legal representation
When a dispute cannot be resolved amicably, I represent clients throughout the litigation process, including:
▪ drafting and submitting claims or defences
▪ preparing evidence and documentation
▪ representation before Hungarian courts
▪ managing deadlines and procedural steps
▪ negotiating settlements during the proceedings
Throughout the process, I provide straightforward explanations so clients always understand the implications of each step.
Support for foreign-owned companies
Foreign businesses often find Hungarian dispute rules and procedures difficult to interpret.
I provide:
▪ clear English explanations of local legal standards
▪ review of counterparties' claims and documents
▪ communication with courts, authorities or lawyers on the other side
▪ strategic assessments tailored to business priorities
This helps companies react confidently, even in complex or unfamiliar disputes.
For a broader overview of how this fits into the full legal lifecycle of a company, see Doing Business in Hungary.
Focused strategy. Practical outcomes.
Whether the goal is settlement or litigation, effective dispute resolution depends on clear information and realistic expectations.
I help clients choose the approach that best protects their business interests.
