- KCG Partners’ employment team is, in my experience, one of the most business-focused practices in Hungary. They combine deep technical knowledge of labor law with a very practical, commercially minded approach that clients truly appreciate. I have referred matters to them in situations of conflict of interest and have always received excellent feedback. They handle complex issues—such as restructurings, sensitive disputes, and cross-border employment matters with exceptional professionalism and strategic insight. Their dual expertise in employment and tax, particularly in ESOP design, clearly distinguishes them from most firms in the market. They also stand out for their innovative use of legal-tech tools and their strong international network, which allows them to support clients on multi-jurisdictional matters seamlessly.
