The cooperation between LeitnerLeitner and LeitnerLaw
Law Firm
Working
together with LeitnerLeitner is based on a shared value system and vision, yet
with autonomy in operational matters. Dr. Levente Antal Szabó also decided to
strengthen the cooperation with LeitnerLeitner because LeitnerLaw Rechtsanwälte
Austria is the regional market leader in the field of succession and estate
planning law for medium-sized companies, including family-owned companies and
their owners. The Hungarian law firm will thus have the opportunity to leverage
its previous experience at regional level and to integrate Austrian experience
into the operations of domestic businesses.
"We
communicate the complex legal issues of the business world to our clients in a
clear and understandable way, translating them into the practical language of
business. Our advice is not just in the letter of the law, but rather in the
spirit of it, so we are most effective in providing innovative and reliable
solutions to companies that build their businesses with a clear focus on clean
operations." - Dr. Antal Szabó Levente Szabó expressed his personal credo
on the occasion of the launch of LeitnerLaw.

addition, we hope that by working with Dr. Levente Antal Szabó and his team,
the LeitnerLeitner Group will make it easier for foreign investors to manage
