Despite the original plan to transfer to Kinstellar, the Noerr Budapest office will continue as an independent firm from June 1, 2024.
According to Noerr, the Bratislava, Bucharest, and Prague offices will transfer to Kinstellar as originally reported on April 3, 2024, when Noerr announced it is taking "a new direction in its business in the markets of Central and Eastern Europe." However, the Budapest team led by Zoltan Nadasdy will continue to work under a new, as-of-yet unannounced name.
The Noerr-Kinstellar transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and other requirements.
