Kinstellar Budapest held a successful business seminar and roundtable on 29 November focusing on compliance, risk, and sensitive investigations (CRSI) in light of the newly introduced ISO 37001 anti-bribery management systems and EU Directive 2016/679/EU on General Data Protection Regulation. The seminar attracted a number of general counsels and compliance experts from across a range of leading companies active in Hungary and across the region.

Three experts from Kinstellar’s Budapest office made opening presentations: Péter Vörös, Partner, who presented the competition law aspects of current compliance matters; Ákos Nagy, Counsel, who spoke on ISO 37001 as a new instrument for combating corruption; and Zsombor Orbán, Associate, who elaborated on Directive 2016/679/EU and how its significant fines for non-compliance are intended to enhance data privacy awareness.

Following the opening presentations, Csilla Andrékó, Managing Partner of Kinstellar Budapest, led a lively roundtable discussion on CRSI issues in practice. She was joined by Ferenc Bíró (Ernst & Young), György Antalóczy (Magyar Telekom), Dr Gábor Antal (Teva) and Ákos Nagy (Kinstellar). The conversation allowed for an extensive discussion of the presented topics and provided the  opportunity for participants to share their expertise and insight.
