Mátyás Rada

I am an Associate in the Budapest office of Bird & Bird, where I work in our real estate group.

I have in-depth experience in complex real estate transactions, including sale and purchase of office buildings, shopping centers, warehouses and industrial facilities. Furthermore, I have advised clients in various high value real estate development projects. I have participated in the whole lifecycle of real estate transactions, including preparatory stages, due diligence and execution of transactional documentation, closing and post-closing tasks.

I started my professional career as a junior assistant professor, and at the same time I worked for the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade as a legal desk officer. In 2016, I served as a consul and Hungarian community diplomat at the Consulate General of Hungary in Chicago.

Before joining the real estate team in the Hungarian office, I spent several years working for other leading international and domestic law firms. I am fluent in English in addition to my native Hungarian.
