Achieving business success in highly regulated markets requires effective management of commercial risks and of your supplier and customer relationships.

Whether you are an international or domestic business active in the CEE region, you can rely on our advice on complex and multi-jurisdictional contractual arrangements and our knowledge of the commercial issues facing the sectors in which you operate. Our lawyers support clients throughout the full lifecycle of their commercial operations – from entering the market and structuring supplier and customer relationships, to managing commercial risk and ensuring regulatory compliance in highly regulated industries. 

Our multi-disciplinary teams are trained to understand the cultural and business factors impacting your commercial arrangements. We organise our teams around sectors and industries relevant to you, including financial services, manufacturing, automotive, consumer products, energy, hotels and leisure, infrastructure and projects, life sciences & healthcare, supply and logistics, real estate and construction, technology, telecoms, media and sports. We can guide you towards the best business outcome, whether you require advice on commercial contracts, supply services, e-commerce, IT or telecoms agreements, data protection, design and manufacturing, advertising, sponsorship and marketing, consumer sales, software licensing, outsourcing, or sales, agency, distribution and franchise agreements.

We have unmatched geographical reach and the capacity to coordinate complex, multi-jurisdictional matters. Our Managed Legal Services (MLS) unit, based in Budapest, supports in-house legal teams with contract lifecycle management, finance document review, regulatory compliance, due diligence, global sourcing and procurement. Combining legal expertise with advanced technology, we enable our clients to focus on strategic priorities while benefitting from efficient, reliable, and cost-effective support.
