The team is jointly led by János Tamás Varga, a ‘strategic visionary’ and leading data protection lawyer, and Endre Várady, a leading figure who handles cross-border privacy matters and is noted for his ’impressive knowledge of privacy and cyber law’. The core team is rounded out by Andrea Belényi, a trusted adviser in matters concerning regulation and compliance.
