Practice lines

Everything a cross-border matter needs, worked as one file

A market entry touches structure, tax, permits, people and contracts at once. These are the six lines we work across; on a live matter they run together under one team, not in parallel silos.

Defined services

The practice lines above, packaged as services with a written scope and a fee agreed before work starts.

01

Set up in Hungary with Hungary in a Box

The Hungary edition of Country in a Box covers company, tax, accounting, banking support and mobility work, coordinated as one project, with our wider network on hand as you expand across the EU.

A fixed-fee first-year package for a Kft. with private-individual founders, with the cost known in advance.

02

Set up and operate in India with India in a Box

The entity, tax, compliance and coordination work needed to start operating in India, run as one project with our partner firm on the ground.

Tell us about the matter and what you want to achieve. We review it and send a written offer, either a fixed fee or hourly rates with an agreed cap, so the cost is predictable before work starts. If the scope stays the same, so does the fee.

03

Company set-up in any of our 98 network countries

A company, branch or registration in the market you need, coordinated by us and executed by our member or partner firm on the ground.

Commercial debt recovery and dispute resolution in China

With Hungarian lawyers in our network and our own team on the ground in China, we help you recover unpaid claims and resolve non-delivery or defective performance by a Chinese counterparty, through a proven staged process that keeps costs under control.

Tell us about the matter and what you want to achieve. We review it and send a written offer, either a fixed fee or hourly rates with an agreed cap, so the cost is predictable before work starts. If the scope stays the same, so does the fee. Each later stage, a viability review, negotiation, litigation, arbitration or enforcement, gets its own written offer before it begins.
