Position

As a senior associate with the firm’s Finance & Insurance team, I specialise in the fields of banking, fintech, and non-bank financing. Over seven years of practising law, I have accumulated valuable experience in finance and credit, as well as business and corporate advisory. While assisting clients I rely on my time management skills, diligence and critical thinking in order to deliver the precise solution to suit business needs.

Career

Assisting fintech businesses. During my years with Sorainen I have gathered valuable experience in the fields of corporate and employment law. Combined with my expertise in financial regulatory compliance, this enables me to assist fintech sector companies in preparing to launch and successfully scale their business operations. My work involves leading companies through regulatory matters, such as advising on licensing issues, and other fintech business and regulatory compliance specifics.

Solving complex regulatory issues. I advise clients daily on complex commercial and regulatory issues involving transfer of business and financing-related transactions; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals; and AML/CTF, safeguarding and outsourcing matters. I regularly represent clients before the local authorities in relation to inspections or dealing with assigned enforcement measures.

Recognised by legal directories. Thanks to this comprehensive experience and client feedback, I have been individually ranked by two international law directories: IFLR1000 and Chambers and Partners. According to Chambers, clients refer to me as “a strong professional, with a high level of responsiveness”.

Continuous learning and development. I strongly believe that only through continuous learning and development can we provide the best quality service to our clients, fully meeting their needs. I frequently participate in both local and international conferences on business and innovation. I also participate in various trainings focused on corporate, finance, compliance and other matters. During my studies abroad I gained a deeper knowledge of corporate law. I studied at Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary for six months, where I focused on EU internal market law and on the specifics of company mobility in the EU. I am currently pursuing a PhD of Law at Mykolas Romeris University.
