Gellér és Bárányos Ügyvédi Iroda 2.2

On behalf of the Gellér and Bárányos Law Firm please allow us to introduce our Firm and bring our services to your attention.

The Law Firm was established by Professor Balázs Gellér, JD, PhD (Cantab.), LLD and Mr. Norbert Kis, JD, PhD in 2004, but Professor Gellér’s family tradition of advocacy reaches back to the 19th century. Ms. Bernadett Bárányos JD became a junior partner in 2010, and today the firm is co-owned by Professor Gellér as managing partner and Ms. Bárányos. The team of lawyers has been further strengthened by Ms. Ágnes Korcsinszky JD and Mr. Géza Sándor JD.

The Law Firm focuses on a classical legal practice and enlists some of the largest companies in the world as clients. Especially in cases in which global law firms lose their way in the labyrinth of national law has our Firm managed to serve its international clientele successfully. We also represent private persons. Our goal is to serve our clientele through speedy and successful work, which we endeavor to by advising a smaller but prestigious circle of companies and people.

The motto of the Gellér and Bárányos Law Firm is “Tradition and Reliability” which reflects our approach towards legal counselling: relying on the ethos and traditions of classic advocacy, we regard the interest of our clients as our primary concern and we are dedicated to provide discrete legal advice and effective legal representation.

I would like to point out that our professional spectrum covers diverse fields of law, including labour law, corporate law, marriage and family law, administrative law as well as international law; moreover our legal practice have a special focus on criminal law. Our colleagues have extensive professional experiences in the aforementioned fields and each member of our team is at least proficient in English. The versatility of our Law Firm allows us to provide reliable legal advice tailored to the needs of our clients.

We are proud that our clients – private individuals and corporations – have been honoring us with their trust for many years.
