KCG Partners Law Firm

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• As an NGO, we have been fortunate to receive pro bono support from KCG Partners, and our experience has been nothing short of outstanding. What makes the team unique is not only their deep legal expertise in areas such as GDPR compliance and NGO law, but also their extraordinary commitment to treating every client with respect and care - regardless of whether the service is provided on a paid or pro bono basis. We have never once felt deprioritized because of our pro bono status; instead, the team consistently went above and beyond, returning our calls within hours and providing immediate assistance whenever urgent matters arose. Their strength lies in the combination of professionalism, reliability, and responsiveness. Every query we raised was answered in detail, often with lengthy and clear explanations that allowed our team to fully understand complex legal matters. Compared to other firms we have worked with in the past, this team has set itself apart through its accessibility and dedication. For us, the most important 'innovation' has been the way they organize client care - prioritizing collaboration and timely support to a degree that is rare in the sector.
• The team stands out for being pragmatic, responsive, and creative in strategy. Partners, such as Gabriella Gálik and Eszter Kamocsay-Berta, are trusted for their ability to handle sensitive, high-value cases. Associates are well-trained and effective, reflecting the firm’s strong focus on mentoring and talent development.
• Eszter Kamocsay-Berta has decades of experience, which makes her not just a seasoned lawyer, but also gives her a sharp eye for crucial details and makes her a superior negotiator. Gabriella Gálik's systematic approach to any matter and calm demeanor make her an unstoppable problem solver. Rita Párkányi has a sharp eye for spotting relevant matters in due diligence and addressing the related issues in the transactional documentation.
• Being a Hungarian firm with strong international connections, there is a combination of a deep understanding of commercial, corporate, and M&A matters spanning multiple jurisdictions, but with more balanced pricing than that offered by multinational law firm chains.
• What distinguishes the KCG team is the blend of sharp legal expertise with broader business and academic insight—several members hold additional qualifications beyond law, giving their advice uncommon depth and real-world practicality. They’re approachable, proactive, and focused on making our experience as clients straightforward. There’s no unnecessary hierarchy or delegation—we work directly with those handling the matter, with senior lawyers engaged throughout. This efficiency, combined with their involvement, gives us strong confidence in their guidance. Among competitors, they stand out for being client-focused, clear, and pragmatic. They avoid needless complexity, offering solutions that can be acted on immediately. We particularly value Eszter Kamocsay-Berta and Gabriella Gálik for strategic judgment and Krisztián Királyvölgyi for responsiveness and precision—both perfectly reflect the team’s hands-on, solution-oriented ethos.
• My main point of contact is Gabriella Gálik, whom I consider a brilliant lawyer who is helpful and smart. It is not quite common to meet such an enthusiastic lawyer who is well prepared from a professional point of view, strives to provide the highest standard even under a lot of pressure, and comes up with a solution that is beneficial for the client. She communicates in a way that even complex legal matters are understandable for clients. I also work regularly with other partners and their associates if the given matter requires it. Their main strength is their unique specialty: each partner is a master of a certain field of law, and they make a very good team together. I think that is what makes them a very strong team. They have their own strengths individually, but together it seems to me that they can boost each other into being even better and constantly improve.
