Dr. Péter Szalai

Attorney, intellectual property expert—not just for creative and innovative businesses

I'll help you with that

As a lawyer, I deal with the protection of intellectual property on a daily basis—from the theoretical background and research on the subject, through to publications, all the way to practical implementation.

My goal is to provide legal certainty for my clients so that they can focus on what they truly excel at: creating, developing, and building.

Whether you want to launch a new brand, innovation, or product, I’ll use my comprehensive approach and practical experience to help ensure that your idea truly remains yours.

Intellectual Property Protection

An idea, a catchy brand name, a unique logo, or a brand identity is often worth more than the product or service itself.

Most entrepreneurs invest a great deal of energy into creating something new and valuable—yet they often forget to protect it.
If you don’t protect your brand, logo, or software, or secure your trade secrets, others can use or copy them at any time, thereby jeopardizing everything you’ve built. You don’t have to worry about legal jargon—I’ll explain in plain language, step by step, what to do, why, and how, and of course, I’ll assist you throughout the process.

Major Areas of Intellectual Property Protection:

Trademark Protection

Patent

Copyright

Trade Secret

Franchise

Real Estate Law

Legal certainty and accurate documentation are of paramount importance in real estate transactions.
My firm provides comprehensive legal support for the sale, gifting, leasing, and other uses of real estate, from the signing of the contract through to registration with the land registry.

In every case, my goal is to ensure that my partners can conduct transparent, legally sound, and secure transactions, regardless of the transaction’s value or complexity.

Legal Representation

Participation in civil litigation is sometimes unavoidable. Whether the goal is to collect outstanding debts or to enforce other claims, professional representation in court is essential.
The same applies when the goal is to mount a successful defense.
Litigation has now become a distinct field of law, requiring special expertise and preparation from legal counsel.
My goal is to relieve my clients of the burdens associated with litigation and to manage the process on their behalf discreetly, conscientiously, and effectively.

Business Law

Business law forms the foundation of business operations, whether it involves forming a company, entering into contracts, or undergoing a reorganization. I provide legal support to corporations and sole proprietorships to ensure a solid legal foundation for their day-to-day operations and strategic decisions.

My goal is to ensure that my clients can operate within a secure, lawful, and long-term stable business structure and continue to grow without encountering legal obstacles or problems.

Inheritance Law

With my specialized expertise, I assist my clients in addressing the specific inheritance law challenges associated with generational transitions, with a particular focus on the succession of businesses. I provide comprehensive legal support in the preparation of estate planning documents, particularly wills and inheritance agreements.

I assist in the out-of-court and in-court enforcement of inheritance claims, and I also undertake the professional duties of an executor, always keeping my clients’ interests in mind. It is in our mutual interest that my clients’ legal estate matters be settled safely and successfully.
