Career

Márton Kovács worked in the real estate and litigation practice group of the Budapest office of Baker & McKenzie from 2003–2006.  In 2006, he founded his own firm and, from January 2017, became a founding partner of HBK Partners, which quickly became one of the leading law firms in Hungary in the fields of capital market, M&A and banking & finance.  In 2021, HBK Partners joined Moore Global and became Moore Legal Kovács, with Márton as the managing partner.  Although his professional experience covers mainly real estate and M&A, he is also proficient in capital market transactions, having led his team in all three public takeovers at the Budapest Stock Exchange in 2017 and 2018, and the listing of Hungary’s fourth largest commercial bank in 2019. Further, he has gained unique experience in hotel law, representing various investors vis-à-vis global and local hotel operator companies.  Márton is also a lecturer in M&A courses at the Budapest Institute of Banking (BIB) and holds workshops for various VC funds and start-up companies.
