We're Hiring | Junior Associate – Litigation Team | DLA Piper Hungary

• Nyelvtudás: Magyar Angol
• Gyakorlati idő: pályakezdő

About the Role

You will become part of a dynamic litigation team handling high-profile Hungarian and cross-border disputes for a diverse, international client base. From day one, you will be involved in meaningful work - from legal research and drafting submissions to supporting case strategy on complex commercial matters. We are looking for someone who doesn't just know the law on paper but knows how to put it to work: a practical, solution-oriented thinker who focuses on results rather than roadblocks.

Prior internship experience at a reputable law firm or professional exposure in an international environment is a distinct advantage.

Who We're Looking For

Professional skills & qualifications

•  Hungarian law degree
• Fresh graduate or early-career lawyer with no more than six months of post-qualification experience
• Demonstrated interest in commercial litigation
• Solid legal drafting and analytical capabilities
• Full professional fluency in both Hungarian and English (written and spoken)
• Comfortable navigating MS Office and modern digital legal tools

You'll thrive here if you

•  Have a sharp eye for detail but never lose sight of the bigger picture
• Perform well under time pressure and can manage competing priorities without sacrificing quality
• Are resourceful and hands-on – the type who bridges the gap between textbook knowledge and real- world problem solving with a goal-oriented, "get-it-done" mentality
• Are curious, coachable, and genuinely eager to develop – you welcome feedback as fuel for growth
• Collaborate naturally across teams and practice areas, bringing both reliability and energy to the table
• Bring strong ethical standards and uncompromising professional integrity

What we offer

• Impactful work from the start – exposure to high-profile Hungarian and international disputes and a sophisticated, global client portfolio
• Investment in your growth – structured training programmes, mentorship, and a clear path for career development
• Fair and competitive reward – a compensation package in line with the Hungarian legal market, complemented by performance-based bonus opportunities
• A workplace you'll enjoy – a collaborative, collegial team culture with regular team-building events and an elegant, comfortable office environment in Budapest
