June 2009 - Kinstellar, the leading premium regional law firm for Emerging Europe, is proud to announce that the firm has won the 2009 “Tax Firm of the Year” award for Hungary from International Tax Review, the world’s leading expert publication on tax issues. The prize ceremony was held at the Dorchester Hotel in London on 19 May 2009 at International Tax Review’s fifth annual European Tax Award.
Being named “Tax Firm of the Year” in Hungary is a great honour and recognition of Kinstellar’s expertise in tax issues. The award also highlights the high-level of service within Hungary’s legal profession, as all three finalists were law firms offering tax solutions outside the Big Four accounting firms.
Gábor Antal, the head of Kinstellar’s Tax practice, comments: “We are very glad to have received this prestigious award. While legal directories have consistently rated our practice as a top-tier player for several years, this is the first time that our efforts have been formally recognised. It definitely encourages us to develop our cutting-edge practice further.”
