KLART Legal

What KLART Legal does

KLART Legal (legal entity: KLART Legal Ügyvédi Társulás, also operating as LeitnerLaw Szabó és Társai) is a Budapest-headquartered Hungarian law firm founded in 2014 that specializes in the intersection of family-business law and family-business advisory. The firm serves Hungarian family-owned companies and entrepreneurial families, with a service portfolio that spans M&A and corporate transactions, competition/antitrust law, intellectual property, data protection, property development, automotive-sector advisory, family constitution drafting, succession planning, family office design, wealth protection, leadership training and alternative dispute resolution. The flagship conceptual offering is the KLART Családi Alkotmány (Family Constitution) practice, which frames governance and succession engagements around shared family values and multi-generational continuity. A publicly named client case study — AgroSprint Zrt., a top-10 Hungarian food processor with 30+ billion HUF revenue and ~400 employees — illustrates the firm's ability to execute generation transition for mid-market and large family enterprises.

The firm monetizes through professional service fees billed against bespoke, multi-year advisory engagements; no public pricing tiers exist. Its go-to-market is relationship-led, enterprise field sales: partners Dr. Szabó Levente Antal (Managing Partner) and Dr. Ránky Anna (Partner, Head of Family Business Advising) engage family principals directly via workshops, facilitated family meetings and ongoing consultations. The firm complements its advisory work with MyKLART, a secure client document portal built on Legito technology that supports paperless document exchange and client collaboration. Marketing is primarily top-of-funnel content-led: a bilingual blog, email newsletter, LinkedIn and Facebook presence, Forbes Hungary features, a TEDxDanubia appearance, and a branded podcast ("Örökös dilemmák") targeting the Hungarian family-business segment. Geographic scope is single-country (Hungary), with Central Europe referenced as the broader market context.

The firm is privately held by its two founding partners with no disclosed external equity, debt or institutional investment. It operates as a Hungarian ügyvédi társulás (law firm association) registered with the Budapest Bar Association (registration number 4208) and is supplemented by a related corporate entity, KLART Szabó Zrt., registered with the Budapest Metropolitan Court. Headcount is in the 11–50 range and the firm has selectively partnered with complementary providers (Jalsovszky Law Firm, HOLD Alapkezelő, Family Constitution Academy, Legito) to extend its reach into private banking, dispute resolution and document technology without building those capabilities in-house.
