Mátyás Schultheisz

I'm a Senior Associate in the Dispute Resolution team of the Budapest office, where I offer our clients expertise in dispute resolution, tax and competition law matters.

As a former competitive fencer, I learned that passion and hard work always pay off – regardless of if you are on the piste, behind your desk, or in a courtroom. A dedication to the principles of mutual respect and decency, which I also learned from fencing, helps me to work effectively with my colleagues and to offer our clients a distinguished service.

During the past few years, I have developed extensive experience in commercial, tax and competition litigation, claims for damages, domestic and international commercial arbitration, as well as alternative dispute resolution proceedings.

In addition, I have a keen interest in tax law. I have also gained experience in the European and Hungarian value added tax system and the double tax treaties of Hungary.

I joined Bird & Bird's team in Budapest in 2018. Prior to this, I interned and worked for a major Hungarian law firm for almost four years. During my university years, I also had the opportunity to work as a camp counsellor for two summers in Canada.
