CMS has announced that Dora Petranyi has been appointed CMS Cameron McKenna’s CEE Managing Director to manage and develop the firm's operations in Central and Eastern Europe. Petranyi — who begins her four year term this month — succeeds Warsaw-based Partner Andrew Kozlowski, who has managed CMS Cameron McKenna's CEE operations since 2011.
Dora’s role will cover CMS Cameron McKenna offices in Bucharest, Budapest, Kyiv, Poznan, Prague, Sofia, Istanbul, and Warsaw, but will not cover CMS Reich-Rohrwig Hainz’s offices in Sofia or Kyiv (or elsewhere), nor the CMS Ruzicka Csekes office in Bratislava.
Petranyi, who is based in Budapest, joined CMS in 2009, after spending the previous two years as a Partner at Squire, Sanders & Dempsey (prior to that firm’s transformation into Squire Patton Boggs), and the previous 8 years at Magyar Telekom and its online service provider subsidiary, T-Online Hungary. She began her legal career with five years at PricewaterhouseCoopers Legal in Budapest, after graduating from the Eotvos Lorand University in 1993.
She has held a number of leadership positions at CMS, including Deputy Managing Partner for CEE and Co-Head of the CEE TMC Group, and her areas of specialization include IT law, competition law, IP law, public procurement matters, general commercial contracts, corporate restructuring, and M&A."
“CMS is well positioned to meet all the complex challenges and opportunities faced by our clients,” commented Petranyi. “My priorities are to build on our firm’s commitment to consistently provide our clients with the highest quality service and ensure that our teams work in a supportive and dynamic culture.”
