Schoenherr Hungary was established in 2008 when a well-established team of experienced legal professionals, now led by Dániel Gera, joined the firm in order to benefit from Schoenherr’s strong position in the CEE/SEE region.
It has a long track record of representing foreign investors, mainly in acquisitions and green field investments, corporate, employment law, merger control filings and other competition matters, finance and insolvency matters as well as real estate transactional mandates, construction and development, including large-scale infrastructure and energy projects. Additionally, the team advises numerous sizeable corporate clients on an ongoing basis on issues such as general corporate, commercial and regulatory matters, real estate and employment law.
Recently, the office has been attracting a growing number of international and domestic corporate clients in the energy, food, technology and banking and insurance sectors.

Mandatory user accounts in webshops: compliance risk and potential fines under the GDPR
When more than three quarters of a country's adult population shop online, e-commerce is no longer merely a business trend but a regulatory challenge. According to the latest data published by the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, in 2025 77.2 % of the Hungarian population aged 16-74 had made an online purchase, with more than half of consumers (54.8 %) shopping online within the previous three months. This level of market penetration has inevitably attracted increased regulatory attention, with competent authorities becoming ever more active in scrutinising the lawful operation of webshops.
