Ügyvéd

Ügyvéd is the Hungarian word for lawyer or attorney. An ügyvéd is a legal professional qualified to advise clients on legal matters and represent them in court proceedings. To become an ügyvéd in Hungary, an individual must complete a law degree at a university, followed by a period of practical training as a legal trainee (jogász gyakornok). After successfully passing a rigorous bar examination, they can be admitted to the Hungarian Bar Association (Magyar Ügyvédi Kamara) and practice as an ügyvéd.

Ügyvédek provide a wide range of legal services. These can include offering legal counsel, drafting legal documents such as contracts and wills, and representing clients in civil, criminal, and administrative cases. They are bound by a code of professional ethics and are obligated to act in their clients' best interests while upholding the law. The profession plays a crucial role in the Hungarian legal system, ensuring access to justice and legal representation for individuals and organizations.
