    SMARTLEGAL Schmidt & Partners is a long-term supplier of legal services for us, both in employment, and commercial law.

    Richard and his team represented us in litigations in multiple disputes in front of Hungarian courts. They are capable to support with compliance topics as well. Everybody in the law firm is very professional and speaks fluent English which is important for us as we operate globally. Additionally, it is great to see how junior team members grow into experts who understand how our business operates. Legal professionals with strong business orientation - good value for money!

  • "Fighting shoulder-to-shoulder in many court and arbitration cases with success!"

    I met Richard in 2010 when we launched our company with an M&A transaction where he provided us legal support. We found the common language in the first minute.

    The professional knowledge of Richard and his team is proven by the huge number of cases that we closed successfully through more than a decade.

    After fighting shoulder-to-shoulder in many court and arbitration cases with success, I can say that it is very important that I can turn to them with legal problems not only in logistics, transportation but in employment and commercial matters, as well.

  • "Tailored-made set of contracts for a newly established IT company"

    Our company launched in Hungary in 2022, we needed contracts with international suppliers, customers, and with employees. All these documents had to be created in a short time, in two languages - English and Hungarian. I contacted SMARTLEGAL and I am very pleased with the cooperation. The contracts were drafted professionally, I feel confident when I use them.

    I also received legal opinion on corporate governance issues, explaining complex issues in a simple way.

    Each time I am happy to work with the SMARTLEGAL team - they are both professionals in their field, and very pleasant, erudite and energetic people, with whom it is a pleasure to work.

    I wholeheartedly highly recommend Smart Legal.

  • "Professional and dedicated to the case!"

    Since we could not find an amicable agreement with our, now former, business partner in Hungary, the latter filed a court trial against Cablex. We contacted several law firms to help us with this case, but SMARTLEGAL Schmidt & Partners was the only one to state concretely and objectively what was the probability to win the case and what were the risks. All other firms, which we contacted, said that we would not have big chances to win, despite the fact that Cablex has respected all its agreements and Hungarian legislation. With the help of SMARTLEGAL, Cablex proved its right and won the case. We recommend SMARTLEGAL Schmidt & Partners as a serious and reliable legal support in legal disputes in Hungary.
