Szabo Kocsis Ugyvedi Iroda

What Szabo Kocsis Ugyvedi Iroda does

Szabó Kocsis Ügyvédi Iroda (Szabó Kocsis Law Office) is a Budapest-based, independent Hungarian law firm founded in 2014 by three partners — dr. Szabó Oszkár Levente (managing partner), dr. Kocsis Gábor, and dr. Kocsis Ádám — and registered with the Budapest Bar Association (Budapesti Ügyvédi Kamara). The firm operates from two Budapest offices (Mester utca in the 9th district and Teve utca in the 13th district) with a team of about 11 listed professionals including founding attorneys, additional attorneys, a cooperating attorney, an ESG specialist/lawyer trainee, lawyer trainees, and a head of secretariat. It is privately held with no external investment or parent company.

The practice delivers comprehensive legal advisory and representation across roughly 14 service areas — corporate law and M&A, tax law, intellectual property, data protection, labour and social insurance, real property and development, competition/consumer protection/advertising and media law, IT/e-commerce/start-ups, international agreements, public administration and procurement, banking and financing, sports law, civil organisations, and litigation. Beyond generalist capability, it maintains dedicated sector specialisations across real estate development, pharmaceuticals, banking and finance, electricity, audio-visual technology, security technology, gambling, toys and games, sports and e-sports, hardware/software, education, arts and design, hospitality, public sector, and start-ups/innovative products. Sector specialisation is positioned as a deliberate differentiator enabling the firm to serve as a strategic consultant to priority clients.

The business model is a professional services partnership: revenue derives from hourly fees, retainers, and matter-based pricing billed to corporate, public-sector, and private clients, with services delivered directly through professional relationships in Hungarian and English. Go-to-market relies on personal reputation, long-tenured partner relationships, strategic partnerships (notably with a FAKSZ public-procurement consultant and an external tax-law expert), membership in Hungarian business-community organisations since 2015, and a bilingual website. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no proprietary technology platform, software product, or technology stack is associated with the offering.
