Law Firm Overview

The Bozzay & Partners Law Office was established on December 1, 1998 (previously called the Bozzay Law Office.). The Founding Partner of the Firm, Dr. Gyöngyi Bozzay, is a Hungarian attorney-at-law having more than 20 years of legal experience. Dr. Bozzay is member of the Budapest Bar.

From the end of 1995 to 2003, Dr. Bozzay provided her legal services in cooperation with Seward and Kissel LLP and from 1998 with Squire, Sanders & Dempsey L.L.P. in Hungary as an associate attorney-at-law. Dr. Bozzay decided in 2003 to continue her legal activity independently from the international law firm and from that date she has advised from her own law firm.

The Bozzay Law Office started to expand in 2004 by employing two lawyers. As the latest step in this expansion of the Firm, Dr. Tamas Riba, in October, 2009, joined to the Bozzay Law Offices as a partner. The Bozzay & Partners Law Offices also expanded its physical space with a major renovation, which included the addition of a new, high-tech conference room for serving our Clients better, and building of new attorney space to allow for further expansion of the firm. Currently, two partners, attorneys-at-law and one lawyer provide the firm’s clients with legal advisory services and representation in the Hungarian, English and German languages.

The Firm has developed strategic relationships with other key professionals to provide a full range of services in an ever expanding and complex business environment. Cross-border legal services in Europe and in the US are provided through our international networking channels in cooperation with highly reputed correspondent firms.

Our mission is to take a personal interest in our clients and fully understand their business and private needs. We make every attempt to meet or exceed their expectations as regards the quality and value of our services. Our work is tailored to the needs of each client.
