Orban & Perlaki Attorneys (OPL) has announced that Gabor Kovacs has become a Partner at the firm.
Kovacs started his legal career in 2007, training within PwC’s corporate law, M&A, real estate, and financing practices, and later spent three years advising the CEO of a major Hungarian IT outsourcing, electronic billing, and e-payment service provider.
He joined OPL in 2012, soon after the law firm was founded. According to OPL, "throughout his time at OPL, he has carried out multiple cross-border transactions, commuting between CEE state capitals, and has worked abroad in several places across Europe, from Paris to Bucharest."
Kovacs's clients include Pannonia Ethanol, which he advised in several major financing and refinancing projects and transactions, and a number of regional companies in the agricultural and e-payment sector, as well as Ethanol Europe, Dijnet, AgroVIR, Sparkassen, and SEB.
OPL Partner Miklos Orban commented on Kovacs's promotion: "Gabor has been with us from the early days of our business. Over the last five years, Gabor has proven to be a great corporate lawyer with exceptional management skills. His 'out-of-the-box' approach to legal business is a perfect fit to OPL and its clients. Gabor’s promotion is not only an appreciation of his achievements, but also a sign of our rapidly growing business."
Kovacs also commented on his new role: “I consider my main task to be the broadening the client base of our law firm, especially in the field of renewables and other innovative industries. At the same time, I would like to carry on supporting our growth as an independent, international corporate law firm by assisting our clients in their needs throughout the CEE region. Amongst others, our expertise in the field of privacy and ICT law provides a solid foundation to achieve these goals.”
