Due to this, compliance with consumer protection regulations has become highly important for business operators.<\/p>\n<p>However, businesses seeking to comply with the law are not in an easy position as consumer protection legislation can be hard to get a handle on and the achievements of digitalisation require legislators and enforcement agencies to continually update legislation and its interpretation. In view of this, we believe that an up-to-date knowledge of case law, i.e. the practice of the public authorities and courts, is essential for understanding and properly applying the requirements of consumer protection law.<\/p>\n<h2>In the field of consumer protection and advertising law, our law firm specialises in the following services:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensuring legal and consumer protection compliance of warranty and guarantee schemes<\/li>\n<li>Representation in proceedings before the consumer protection authority<\/li>\n<li>Supporting the handling of consumer complaints, and providing legal representation<\/li>\n<li>Holding training on managing consumer complaints<\/li>\n<li>Reviewing advertisements, commercial communications and contracts affecting consumers<\/li>\n<li>Supporting corporate consumer protection compliance programmes, holding training to aid legitimate commercial communications<\/li>\n<li>Drafting and reviewing contracts related to influence marketing<\/li>\n<li>Giving opinions in cases of unfair commercial practices (e.g. misleading commercial practices, aggressive commercial practices)<\/li>\n<li>Representation before the Hungarian Competition Authority in notification and complaint proceedings<\/li>\n<li>Representation before the Hungarian Competition Authority in competition proceedings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent years, the Hungarian consumer protection authorities have imposed hefty fines, sometimes amounting to billions of forints, on companies.
