Laszlo Palocz Returns to Kinstellar

Former Indotek Group Senior M&A Legal Counsel Laszlo Palocz has returned to Kinstellar, joining the firm’s Budapest office as Counsel.

Before the move, Palocz spent two years with Indotek, between 2023 and 2025. Earlier, he was with Kinstellar for more than six years, joining the firm initially as a Junior Associate in 2016, becoming an Associate in 2017, and a Senior Associate in 2022. Earlier still, he was a Junior Associate with EY between 2015 and 2016 and with Gal and Partners between 2014 and 2015.

“I am thrilled to rejoin Kinstellar and reunite with my former colleagues,” Palocz said. “This is an incredible opportunity to leverage the knowledge and experience I have gained working on transactions all over Europe as an in-house M&A legal counsel since my departure two years ago while continuing to work on exceptional projects alongside this outstanding team. I look forward to contributing to the firm’s ongoing achievements.”

“We are delighted to welcome Laszlo back to our team,” commented Managing Partner Balazs Sepsey. “His experience, solution-driven approach, and collegial attitude have always been highly valued by both clients and colleagues.”

“Laszlo’s return is great news for our team,” added Partner Gabor Gelencser. “His professional expertise in M&A, combined with his approachable nature and work attitude, aligns perfectly with our values. He will be a key contributor to the strength of our team and the quality of service we provide to our clients.”
