Hajdu & Pazsitka has announced that it has changed its name to HP Legal | Hajdu & Partners in order to reflect "the re-structuring of the firm with the addition of Hanna Batki as a Partner and the departure of [former Named Partner] Gabor Pazsitka” (which was reported by CEE Legal Matters on January 25, 2016).
The new Partner, Batki, has been with the firm for over 6 years and specializes in banking and finance transactions as well as corporate matters. The firm’s press release also announced that English commercial solicitor Steven Conyweare will remain HP Legal’s EU counsel.
Laszlo Hajdu, Managing Partner of HP Legal, commented on the changes: “As the re-structuring of the firm had been planned for some time, I am pleased that there has been no adverse impact on the firm's ability to service clients, nor on its day-to-day operation and strategy. I firmly believe that Hanna's promotion and Steven's continuing support will help ensure the continued success of HP Legal built up over the past 8 years. There is a growing need for strong independent firms in the Hungarian legal market and I am pleased that our firm remains well placed to meet such demand. The firm's strategy is to continue to build on its past success and to further enhance its reputation amongst the leading business law firms in Budapest. I am confident that with our team's first class services, hard work, talent and persistence, we will succeed and ensure that HP Legal continues to be held in the highest regard by both clients and competitors.”
