About Me
established in 2018
Dear Future Client,
I am Peter Zala dr., an independent legal practitioner in downtown Budapest.
Lets have a quick look why I can offer you quality services:
First of all, when catering to clients’ legal needs I draw on my rich academic experience including my primary legal education at the University of Szeged, Hungary, a French/EU law course of the French University of Paris Nanterre, an International Relations and EU Studies program with the Central-European University and an eminent MBA program with the Vlerick Business School in Belgium. Courtesy of my varied studies I have mastered a relevant combination of skills in the field of Hungarian law, EU law, public policy, international business and quantitative analysis.
My professional portfolio spread from working with infringements at the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs through serving a tenure of four years as a consul at the Hungarian Embassy in Sofia, to completing a short spell with the Justice Directorate of the European Commission in Brussels.
It was not until 2015 that I had decided to switch from the public to the private and took up a brief opportunity with Lohn Law Firm, while continued later for a period of 3 years with Sarecz Law Firm as an associate attorney. During years of professional collaboration I had the chance to gain invaluable, in-depth experience in various fields of law working with both Hungarian and international entities.
Finally, I have been practitioning independently but in cooperation with some fine professionals since 2018 as a member of the Budapest Bar Association.
I hold relevant experience in business law, financial law, and real estate law (real estate development and real estate sales transactions). I am regularly dealing with corporate affairs, liquidation and insolvency procedures, conversions and mergers, taxation issues, various business and commercial agreements. In addition to those, I provide legal support for start-up companies and take charge of the general legal representation of my foreign clients and address their immigration-related inquiries.
I benefit from an on-going partnership with auditors, tax advisors and immigration experts as I am committed to offer my clients a one-stop shop, comprehensive service package that brings personalized solutions to all their legal needs.
Besides Hungarian I provide services in three other foreign languages including French, Russian and English.
I look foward to hearing about you soon!
