Firm strengthens presence in Hungary
Dentons has announced the arrival of István Réczicza, Rob Irving and Edward Keller, who join as partners in the Budapest office, along with approximately 50 local partners, associates and other professionals. The team join Dentons from White & Case on 4 May to further strengthen the firm’s corporate M&A, private equity, TMT and dispute resolution offering in Hungary, the Central and South Eastern Europe region and Europe.
"We are delighted to welcome this prominent team to Dentons. Their market leading expertise will significantly broaden our offering to clients not only in Hungary but in the CEE region and across Europe,” commented Tomasz Dabrowski, Dentons Europe chief executive officer. “This is another step in our firm’s strategy to be one of the very top practices globally offering top-notch, band 1 advice to its clients and at the same time to be deeply rooted in the communities in which we work."
Their arrival follows Dentons' recently announced merger with US law firm McKenna Long & Aldridge as well as the combination between Dentons and 大成, creating the world’s largest law firm. The Dentons Budapest team will remain White & Case’s preferred team for referrals, and existing client matters handled by the Budapest office will be coordinated by White & Case and Dentons.
Evan Lazar, co-chair of Dentons global real estate and chairman of Dentons Europe board adds: “We are seeing a very strong increase of cross border M&A and private equity transactions and this team’s arrival will truly bolster our European offering in corporate/M&A, private equity, TMT and dispute resolution.”
