After spending the last five months as a sole practitioner, former Dentons Partner Gabor Kiraly has rejoined CMS as Of Counsel in its banking, finance, and capital markets team.

Before the move, Kiraly spent more than eight years with Dentons between 2015 and 2024, the last two and a half of which as Partner. Between 2013 and 2015 he spent more time as a sole practitioner and, earlier, he was the Deputy CEO of CIB Bank between 2008 and 2013. Between 2002 and 2007, Kiraly was a Partner with CMS' Hungary office. He started his career in 1992 with the National Bank of Hungary where he stayed for almost ten years.

"I'm really happy to be back at CMS Hungary, where I spent five pivotal years of my career," Kiraly said. "I'm eager to help drive success for our clients and the firm."

"We're very pleased to welcome Gabor back," added CMS Hungary Managing Partner and Head of the Finance practice Erika Papp. "His deep knowledge of the financial markets and broad experience will be a great asset to our practice."
