Position
Senior Associate
Career
Barnabás is a Senior Associate in the Budapest Corporate/M&A team of Bird & Bird, where he uses his experience to advise clients, ranging from start-ups to multinationals and private equity funds, on strategic M&A, IPOs and other securities offerings, PE/VC investments and corporate reorganisations.
Barnabás primarily focuses on advising clients operating in the financial services, retail & consumer, oil & gas and pharmaceutical industries on corporate transactions, but he is also experienced in assisting clients with complex fund regulatory matters under AIFMD and disclosure matters under MAR.
He particularly enjoys working on cross-border corporate transactions, which not only taught him how to tackle issues arising from the discrepancies among different jurisdictions, but also allowed him to work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds without any difficulties.
Besides work, Barnabás is truly passionate about helping the CEE start-up ecosystem develop by serving on the Legal Committee of the Hungarian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (HVCA) as well as by providing support to NextGen, the young arm of HVCA, which he co-founded.
