Eszter Kamocsay-Berta has left the Gide Loyrette Nouel Budapest office together with a team of lawyers from the firm and will set-up a new boutique in Hungary: KCG Partners

Calls or e-mails addressed to former Co-Managing Partner of the Gide Budapest office receive a simple notice of her departure without disclosing any other details. A source that preferred remaining anonymous informed CEE Legal Matters that Kamocsay-Berta has left the firm together with Levente Csengery, head of the employment and litigation practice, Gabriella Galik, senior lawyer in charge for the real estate practice, Rita Parkanyi, key lawyer in the employment and litigation practice, Marton Hajnal, key lawyer in the projects and tax practice and Klaudia Ruppl, junior lawyer expert in data protection, and will set up a new firm: KCG Partners.

Neither Kamocsay-Berta or Gide would comment on the move. 

As reported by CEE Legal Matters on March 28, 2014, Eszter Kamocsay-Berta was the lead lawyer advising global toy maker LEGO on its project to build a EUR 354 million plant in the city of Nyiregyhaza, Hungary.

This is the second team that Gide has lost in CEE this year, following the closure of its office in Bucharest back in February (reported on by CEE Legal Matters on February 10, 2014).
