Former CMS Senior Counsel Gabor Gelencser has joined Kinstellar's Budapest office as Partner.

According to Kinstellar, "Gabor Gelencser is among the top lawyers in Hungary when it comes to corporate/M&A transactions. He has over 15 years of experience handling a diverse range of cross-border and domestic corporate transactions including management and oversight of numerous mergers, joint ventures, due diligence exercises, and organizational restructurings relating to various industries and sectors, including real estate, telecoms, and financial institutions. Gabor’s practice and focus cover the entire spectrum of private and public M&A: cross-border and domestic share deals and asset deals both on the sell and buy side, private equity transactions, public takeovers, mergers/demergers, cross-border mergers, restructurings, joint ventures, W&I insurance matters, venture capital fund establishments, and high-value and high-profile deals."

Gelencser earned an LL.M. degree in International Business Law from Central European University in Budapest, and he holds a J.D. from the University of Pecs. He speaks Hungarian, English, and German and is admitted to the Budapest Bar.

Kinstellar Hungary Managing Partner Csilla Andreko comments: “We are delighted that Gabor has joined our firm. Gabor’s, skill set, client relationships and experience representing both multinational corporations and Hungarian companies in complex domestic and cross-border transactions aligns with our focus to continue to expand our premier corporate and private equity M&A practice, both in Budapest and regionally. Gabor's arrival will enhance the continued growth of Kinstellar’s M&A capabilities and will help us focus more on Hungarian M&A deals. We welcome him to the team and have no doubt that Gabor will make a significant contribution to the growth and future development of our corporate M&A practice.”
