What Our Clients Say

Trusted by founders, investors and high-growth companies worldwide.

"Working with Krisztian was an absolute game-changer for us. He handled our contract negotiations and gave us clear, actionable guidance through very tricky legal hurdles. He supported our business and dealt with all our legal challenges from zero to our first £1,000,000 in revenue. He moved fast when we needed it, stayed sharp on the details, and never lost sight of our bigger goals. If you need a lawyer who really 'gets' entrepreneurship, I can't recommend him highly enough."

Gabor Soter

Palindrom Limited

Gabor Soter

"Krisztian was the driving force behind our M&A deal, ensuring everything stayed on track from start to finish. His sharp legal expertise and hands-on project management kept the process moving, solving problems before they became roadblocks. Without his guidance, this deal would have fallen apart. If you need a lawyer who thinks like an entrepreneur and executes like a pro, Krisztian is the one."

Andrea Vincenzi

Converzum Zrt.

Andrea Vincenzi

"Dealing with an extremely difficult ESOP negotiation with my former employer involving multiple companies and jurisdictions, Krisztian provided me guidance that allowed me to understand my position, the tradeoffs of the different options and the real value of my options. With Krisztián's guidance and advice I had all my demands met by my former employer."
