Austrian independent Schoenherr has launched a Budapest office in a tie-up with Szecsenyi Ugyvedi Iroda, the former associated lawyers of fellow Vienna firm Cerha Hempel Spiegelfeld Hlawati. The move gives the firm eight offices outside Austria and sees 21 lawyers join the firm. From 1 January, 2008, the new office began operating under the name Schoenherr Szecsenyi Ugyvedi Iroda.
