Jogiüzleti

Jogiüzleti is a Hungarian term for the business of law—the organization, management, and commercial activity surrounding the provision of legal services. It encompasses law firms, corporate legal departments, and legal technology companies that deliver advice and representation.

Core activities include client acquisition and retention, matter management, budgeting and pricing, staffing, and service delivery. Pricing models vary from hourly rates and fixed fees to value-based arrangements and alternative fee arrangements. Delivery often combines traditional law practice with outsourcing and managed services.

Regulation and professional ethics govern jogiüzleti: lawyers and firms are typically supervised by bar associations or law societies, with duties of confidentiality, competence, and conflicts of interest. Compliance, risk management, and fiduciary duties are central to ethical practice.

Technology plays a growing role in jogiüzleti, including practice management software, document automation, contract analytics, e-discovery, and secure data handling. These tools aim to increase efficiency, improve client service, and support legal compliance while respecting professional standards.

Market dynamics reflect globalization and technological change. Firms of all sizes adapt to competition from large multinational firms, alternative service providers, and in-house departments. In many jurisdictions, market liberalization and client expectations have driven consolidation, process standardization, and emphasis on value and transparency.

In the Hungarian context, jogiüzleti denotes the integration of law with business considerations, balancing legal accuracy with client needs and commercial viability.
