Ivan Ferencz, former Senior Legal Advisor and Legal Director at Fundamenta-Lakaskassza Zrt., has joined Budapest's Szabo, Kelemen and Partners as Of Counsel.

Ferencz graduated summa cum laude at Budapest's ELTE Faculty of Law in 1995. He started working at Lakaskassza Zrt, the predecessor of Fundamenta, in 1998 as the Head of Legal.
