Hungary
Schoenherr Hungary was established in 2008 when a well-established team of experienced legal professionals, now led by Gábor Pázsitka, 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.

On 2 November 2026, the National Bank of Hungary (MNB) relaunched the market supervision and capital markets section of its website (piacfelugyelet.mnb.hu). The portal is no longer focused primarily on the authority's activities but serves as an information platform for investors. It also enables users to report suspected unauthorised providers and capital market abuse online, including anonymously.

Hungary proposes changes to private equity fund governance and state-backed financing
On 2 November 2026, the Hungarian Government submitted Bill No. T/961 to Parliament. The bill would introduce a new procedure for transferring the management of closed-end investment funds, including private equity and venture capital funds. Under this procedure, at least 60 % of the investment unit holders could initiate the transfer, and it would not require the supervisory authority's prior approval. The bill would also temporarily restrict certain capital calls, adjust the mandatory takeover bid rules, repeal the collateral exemptions applicable to Eximbank and MFB, and terminate the Integration Organisation of Cooperative Credit Institutions (SZHISZ), with its assets transferring to the Hungarian State.
