Hungary

Overview

Nagy és Trócsányi was founded as a partnership in 1991, turned into a limited liability professional partnership (in Hungarian: ügyvédi iroda) in 1992, with the aim of offering sophisticated legal services. We continue to seek excellence in a comprehensive and modern practice, which spans international commercial and business law. Our lawyers provide clients with advice and representation in an active, thoughtful, and ethical manner, with a real understanding of our clients’ business needs and the markets in which they operate.

We are one of the largest, home-grown independent law firms in Hungary.

Since 2002, N&T has been the sole Hungarian member of Lex Mundi– the world’s leading network of independent law firms with in-depth experience in 100+ countries worldwide, the world’s leading network of independent law firms.

To serve the needs of its global client base, N&T continued to expand and was joined by many outstanding partners and associates, among them well-known law professors. N&T alumni went on to serve variously as President of the Republic of Hungary, Constitutional Court judge, ambassador, Hungary’s Minister of Justice, EU General Court judge, European Commission officer and Member of the ICC International Court of Arbitration.

Over the years, among countless other complex and fascinating matters, N&T has acted for clients involved in Hungary’s largest ever privatization; its largest ever energy construction project; and its largest ever litigation by disputed sum. N&T has carved out a name for itself advising sophisticated international clients, and its excellent reputation among its peers is reflected in the firm’s ratings by Chambers, Legal 500 and other similar organizations.

We advise a broad range of clients, including numerous multinational corporations. Being the premier independent law firm in Hungary means that law firms from all over the world that do not have direct representation in Hungary seek us out to advise their clients. BAR MEMBERSHIP Nagy és Trócsányi Ügyvédi Iroda is a legal entity and registered with the Budapest Bar Association. All lawyers of the Budapest office are either members of, or registered as clerks with, the Budapest Bar Association. Several of our lawyers are admitted attorneys or registered as legal consultants in New York.
