In my personal view, technical modernization and the changing legal and economic environment present our clients with challenges that require appropriate complex legal support, the extent of which must be determined with a view to reasonableness and necessity.
In my work, I typically assist clients in civil litigation and non-litigation matters, in the management of their claims, in the drafting and drafting of contracts, in the drafting of opinions, in the management of specific civil law relationships, which are well complemented by my experience in tax law, so that I can examine not only the contractual but also the tax law aspect of a given or future planned transaction.
While, in the field of taxation, my knowledge of the interpretation of the law, the tax authorities and the courts are essential to provide my clients with appropriate and thorough professional tax advice, which is supported by my practical experience working at tax authorities and by almost 10 years of working in a multinational corporate environment. I believe that my professional experience enables me to assess a given transaction or legal issue in a complex manner, minimizing tax risks, optimizing tax liabilities for my clients and representing them effectively in tax audits, tax proceedings and administrative litigation.

CV
I completed my legal studies at the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences of the University of Pécs, and after my university years I started my professional career as a junior lawyer in 2005, working for the then Vice-President of the Bar Association. During my junior lawyer years, I enrolled in the Tax Law Specialist Course organized by the ELTE-ÁJK Legal Training Institute to further my professional development. As a junior lawyer, I gained considerable experience in civil law, while at the same time to develop my tax law qualifications in practice, I first provided professional opinions and information to clients at the client relations department of the regional directorate of the tax authority, then I represented clients in litigation at the Central Office’s department for public authorities, and drafted opinions on legislation and guidelines. I have also experienced the challenges on the client side, having worked for a multinational company for almost 10 years, first as a tax expert, then as a manager and senior legal adviser, during which time I gained considerable experience in risk management, tax strategy and cooperation with the tax authorities, international tax consultancy firms and law firms. I established my law firm in 2019.
