  • I work with Janos Tamas Varga, who has a strong business-oriented mindset.
  • The entire team from VTJ & Partners—including Andrea, Andras, Nandor, Renata, and Janos—proved to be highly coordinated and responsive. The complex due diligence project which our company hired them to do was not a quick and easy job, but a rather long and time-consuming one across the winter holiday season. The team, however, with a well-streamlined internal workflow, remained fully responsive and on time throughout the project. When an unexpected compliance issue arose with the target company, team partner Andrea from VTJ stepped in immediately with exceptional expertise and a solutions-oriented approach. They provided clear, actionable guidance and responded with remarkable speed, which significantly helped to streamline and optimize the resolution of the identified problem. The level of commitment, responsiveness, and the willingness to make extra efforts showcased a strong professional work ethic. We really respected that, and this, along with their high-quality deliverable, will be the reason for our company to engage them again in the future.
  • VTJ & Partners was hired by my company to perform a really comprehensive due diligence review covering all aspects of the target company's corporate legal good standing. We reached out to several law firms at first before engaging VTJ & Partners, and no other firm had the capability to provide a complete set of correct resources for our requested due diligence scope. VTJ & Partners, however, quickly established a really high-quality project team, with specialists across every relevant field—including corporate structure, financials, taxation, transfer pricing, GDPR and data privacy, and employee compliance. They systematically identified all critical risks and pain points upfront and delivered a first draft that was nearly 90% complete—a significantly higher quality outcome compared to drafts we have received from other firms. It's also worth mentioning specifically that the team demonstrated outstanding organization and responsiveness with clear delegation and an outstandingly streamlined workflow. Even during the winter holiday period, including Christmas, workflow remained uninterrupted and fully attended to, reflecting timeliness and reliability. The entire process was smooth, with a well-structured timetable and clear communication at every stage.
  • The VJT & Partners corporate and M&A team delivers precise, well-prepared work and combines professionalism with a genuinely kind and effective client approach. The lawyers are always accessible and clearly bring deep experience to the table. I especially value how they take a firm stand in the moments that matter, while remaining flexible and pragmatic on the less critical points – a balance that makes them a true partner in complex deals.
  • Thorough work, take the effort to understand the business.
  • In our joint transactions, I have seen firsthand how the VJT & Partners transactional team operates. They bring together top-notch expertise at every level, and their use of digital and AI solutions puts them well ahead of the vast majority of the Hungarian market. What stands out for me is their smooth teamwork and approachable communication, which makes collaboration effortless and consistently leads to excellent results for our shared clients.
