Schoenherr has won Best Law Firm of the Year at the 2024 CIJ Awards Hungary gala in Budapest. In the last three years, Schoenherr's real estate practice has played a prominent role in landmark deals in Hungary.
"I am extremely proud of our real estate team for their unwavering dedication and exceptional support," said László Krüpl, head of Schoenherr Hungary's real estate and construction practice. "This award confirms that we are heading in the right direction in the real estate sector. We remain committed to working tirelessly to provide our clients with the highest quality legal services."
Schoenherr's key work highlights include two BTS projects executed for OTP Real Estate Investment Fund, a major Hungarian real estate market player, concerning the development of new headquarters for Rossmann Hungary and the new Hungarian site for ZF Chassis, both German companies. The Rossmann deal was the largest BTS development in Hungary in 2023-2024.
