About

Expertise and Dedication in Criminal Law

I pursued my university studies at the Faculty of Law of the University of Debrecen, graduating in 2012 with 'Summa Cum Laude' distinction. Even during my university years, my primary areas of interest were criminal law and financial/economic law. In 2011, I achieved second place at the National Scientific Student Conference in the field of financial law. Given this, after completing my studies, I sought to join a law firm where I could focus on these areas of law and apply the knowledge I had gained.

With this in mind, after finishing my studies, I joined Bánáti Law Office, where I had the opportunity to actively participate in some of the most significant economic crime-related criminal proceedings of recent years. These experiences allowed me to acquire a level of expertise that is available in only a few criminal law-focused law firms in Hungary. As a result, one of my main areas of specialization is economic crimes, including budget fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation, and fraud.

Following this, I established my own law firm. Through the Budai Law, I provide full legal representation for my clients not only in economic crime-related cases but in all areas of criminal law.

Specialist in Economic Criminal Law

About

Professional Experience and Continuous Development

My key areas of expertise also include corruption-related crimes (Bribery, Official Bribery), crimes against financial regulations (Bankruptcy Fraud, Violation of Accounting Rules, Insider Trading, Market Manipulation), and crimes related to drugs and new psychoactive substances. Throughout my legal career, I have acted as a defense attorney in numerous cases across the country in these specialized areas. This has given me an in-depth understanding of the investigative authorities' and prosecutors' procedural methods, as well as the judicial practices of various courts and the defense strategies that can be effectively applied in these proceedings.

I strive to continuously develop my professional knowledge, paying particular attention to legislative changes. Accordingly, I have focused extensively on the plea agreement provisions highlighted by the new Criminal Procedure Act. Thanks to this, I have successfully facilitated several plea agreements in criminal proceedings that have resulted in favorable outcomes for my clients.

To deepen my expertise in my areas of specialization and stay updated on legal changes, I completed the Economic Criminal Law Specialist program at Eötvös Loránd University with a 'Distinction' grade.
