Head of Tax Advisory and Wealth Management Akos Barati has been promoted to a Partner position with Jalsovszky in Budapest.
According to the firm, the practice's "classic focus on income tax planning and international tax advisory has been complemented in recent years by a solid wealth planning focus, which Akos has played a lion's share in developing." Barati joined Jalsovszky back in 2014 as an Associate and was promoted to Senior Associate and Head of Tax Advisory and Wealth Management in 2021, before making Partner this January. Earlier, he spent over one year with Deloitte and almost three more with EY, starting in 2010.
"With the workload, discipline, and team building we have seen from him over the years, Akos highly deserved his appointment as a Partner." Managing Partner Pal Jalsovszky commented. "Among other commitments, Akos had a key role in our summer campaign during which we established 77 trusts and three foundations for our clients. Akos has become a widely known and respected tax lawyer over the years, and he will be able to build on this in the future as a Partner of the firm."
"I consider my new position, which I am very proud of, to be just one stage in my career," Barati said of the appointment. "I feel that there is still a lot of potential in the team and in the market, and this appointment is a further motivation and inspiration to exploit it."
