I’m very happy and excited to join my old colleagues in a new role, as leader of the competition practice group. I will work with my colleague, Tamás Polauf, to serve our existing clients with the flexible and high-end legal services that they have grown accustomed to, and to attract new clients with state-of-the-art innovative legal and compliance solutions that help them achieve the highest possible level of compliance” said Márton Kocsis.

As we continue to build our practice that we started in 2015, we couldn’t have asked for a person who is better suited to head our joint effort than Márton. Competition law engagements have started to play an increasingly important role in our daily operations, and our clients are looking for new, innovative compliance solutions in today’s ever-changing and complex legal environment, and therefore our organically growing competition practice needed a new, well experienced leader. I’m confident that the complex multi-national knowledge Márton has acquired in a corporate setting during the last period of his career will further strengthen our office and practice” added Tamás Polauf.
