“Balazs will be an excellent Office Managing Partner and I am confident that he will provide outstanding leadership to the Budapest office, taking the team from strength to strength,” Ferenczi commented. “His proven leadership skills, profound personal qualities, strong work ethic, and core values make him the perfect choice to lead the local practice. I am delighted to be handing over the reins to such an outstanding and talented individual and look forward to continuing to work with Balazs in his new role.”
