Bán, S. Szabó, Rausch & Partners

Bán, S. Szabó, Rausch & Partners has nearly three decades of experience advising international investors, corporates and financial sponsors on Hungarian transactions and operations. We are consistently ranked by Chambers, Legal 500 and IFLR1000, and we operate as a fully integrated team across M&A, regulated industries, competition, real estate, infrastructure and employment.

Our approach focuses on execution. We work at the intersection of legal structuring, regulatory process and commercial reality. In practice, this means helping clients anticipate where friction is likely to arise, align transaction structure and timing accordingly, and manage the investment lifecycle beyond closing. We also leverage a well-established network of trusted partner firms across Central and Eastern Europe, enabling us to support clients in regional and cross-border transactions.

What separates us from other firms is the deep partner-level involvement, the business mindset and that we stay close to execution thereby reducing risks.

We regularly advise on mid-market and complex transactions, including greenfield investments, carve-outs, regulated assets, cross-border restructurings and selected special situations. Our mandates frequently involve cross-border and multi-jurisdictional work. In our experience, outcomes in Hungary are rarely determined by legal constraints alone, but by how early structure, governance and regulatory strategy are integrated into the investment decision.

Our objective is to reduce uncertainty at each stage of the investment lifecycle, enabling investors to make commercial decisions with clarity and confidence. Client feedback in Chambers and Legal500 highlights our pragmatic approach, partner involvement and international experience.
