Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• It is always a pleasure to work with Sam Baldwin. He provides excellent legal guidance, has extensive knowledge of the business, and is very engaged in resolving our legal challenges.
• I have not personally had the pleasure of working with other lawyers in the firm except Sam Baldwin, but I understand that the firm is very well respected and forms part of the elite in Hungary.
• Szecskay Attorneys at Law’s competition and TMT groups are widely viewed as among the most accomplished and forward-thinking practices in Hungary. They combine deep technical expertise with an instinct for practical solutions, making them a trusted choice for complex domestic and cross-border matters. Clients and peers alike remark on the team’s ability to handle high-stakes work with calm precision. What also stands out is the breadth of their client base—from global consumer brands and telecom giants to dynamic digital platforms—which reflects both their versatility and their strong reputation for quality. The firm group is recognized for a collaborative culture that nurtures talent and ensures continuity on demanding projects. Their balanced partnership, diverse leadership, and international outlook make them a benchmark for modern law firm practice in Budapest.
• Exceptional engagement with clients' needs from the entire team. Specifically, I have to mention the partner Aniko Keller - very competent, with a fast reaction and excellent judgment in complex cases, an outstanding leader of a greatly performing team.
• I can only speak for competition law matters. I deal with a number of lawyers and law firms in the EU, and Sam Baldwin is among the very best. Sam is an outstanding competition lawyer. I am particularly impressed with his deep understanding of how the market and industry work. Also, the fact that his advice is always practical and operational (not abstract or fluffy) and that he communicates his advice clearly and understandably (not in legalese). Within compliance work, one of his particular strengths is that he is very conscious of the importance of finding practical solutions to difficult compliance issues – he is able to bridge the demands of compliance with commercial goals. There are many grey areas in competition law, and he is excellent at navigating them and balancing the interests of minimizing risk on one hand and growing the business on the other. In contentious/adversarial matters, he is just a very persuasive advocate and not afraid to get into the battle ring with competition authorities. The quality of his work is incredibly high and consistent, and his passion and dedication for the work he does are unmatched.
• Anikó Keller is consistently praised for her strategic insight, calm authority, and exceptional client care. She is known for blending a deep understanding of Hungarian and EU competition law with a keen commercial sense, making her a first call for challenging cases. Gábor Faludi Jr. is frequently highlighted as a rising star with remarkable poise and technical strength. Clients appreciate his ability to turn complex advertising and consumer protection issues into clear, workable solutions, and peers note his steady presence in front of the authorities.
