SÁNDOR SÁRKÖZY CO-LEADER OF SÁRKÖZY RÖDL & PARTNER ÜGYVÉDI IRODA, RÖDL & PARTNER ÜGYVÉDI TÁRSULÁS fact that, with our colleagues, we managed to assemble a stable team of great lawyers and personalities working hard and showing great team spirit. I am especially proud of the fact that our Sárközy Rödl & Partner has been continuously profitable with an increasing turnover since 2006. From a professional point of view, I am proud to see the “result” of our work, such as the greenfield investments and the establishment of numerous factories that have been realized with our legal support from day one. WHAT DREW YOU TO LAW AS A PROFESSION? I saw the movie “My Cousin Vinny” with Joe Pesci as lead actor in 1992 and I received an immediate motivation for being an attorney at law […] Seriously, at the beginning, I was fascinated with the fact that law is a rational regulation
“At the beginning, I was fascinated with the fact that law is a rational regulation system and the certain logical regulations create a big logical unit.”
BACKGROUND Sándor Sárközy graduated in Budapest, at ELTE with a degree in law. In 2006, he joined Rödl & Partner, having previously worked at the Supreme Court in Hungary and later leading the German Legal Desk at a Big 4 company. For almost 15 years, he has been the co-leader of Rödl & Partner Hungary, together with Stefan Sieferer. OF WHICH ACHIEVEMENTS ARE YOU MOST PROUD? Rödl & Partner had its 25th anniversary in Hungary. My partner and I have been part of the company for the past decade and a half. We have managed to create a law firm which serves determining economic entities. The German background affects the composition of our clients, colleagues and our issues and it naturally distinguishes us on the Hungarian market. I am especially proud of the
system and the certain logical regulations create a big logical unit. In the first year of my university studies, it turned out that I have made the right choice, because Roman law – on which our whole legal system is based – brought law closer to me and also the way of thinking which it embodies. I lived in Switzerland when I was young, the vision and German language knowledge gained there have given me a basis for my future carrier steps. Quite early, I was drawn to the international atmosphere. I have been the leader of the German desk at one of the law firms of the Big 4. After that the path led straight to Rödl & Partner. Due to the German background, basically there are foreign, mainly German elements in almost all of our issues which affect also my professional point of view and routine regarding the issues. HOW DID YOU PICK YOUR LEGAL SPECIALTY AREA? Basically, we provide full legal advisory service for our clients regarding their investment in Hungary, from the establishment of their Hungarian subsidy, often greenfield investments, until their possible dissolution.
