Former Noerr Partner Edina Schweizer has joined Dentons as Partner and Head of the Hungarian Banking and Finance team. Barbara Vighne Herczegfalvi also joined as an Associate.

According to Dentons, Schweizer "brings over 15 years of experience in handling complex domestic and cross-border transactions including project finance, acquisition finance, real estate finance, debt restructurings, and insolvency matters."

Before joining Dentons, Schweizer spent almost seven years with Noerr, before most of its CEE offices transferred to Kinstellar (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on April 3, 2024) with Noerr's Hungary office deciding to remain an independent law firm (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on May 31, 2024). Before her time with Noerr, Schweizer spent almost nine years with Kinstellar, two years with Linklaters, and almost four years with Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
