Dr. Péter Alexa

Lawyer

dr. Péter Alexa obtained his Law degree in 2012 from the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences at the University of Debrecen. In 2016, he passed the bar exam and has been a member of the Debrecen Bar Association ever since, working as an independent attorney. In 2025, he also obtained an LLM degree (Compliance Lawyer). As he spent his years as a trainee lawyer at a law firm (Varga és Molnár Ügyvédi Iroda) and have been working continuously with lawyers and law firms ever since, he has extensive experience in performing tasks within the framework of cooperation. In his work, he strives to examine legal issues in detail and in context. Accordingly, analytical thinking and a systematic and project-based approach are also present in the performance of his duties. He knows that legal work should not necessarily be limited to solving the legal problems that arise for the client, but should also involve identifying the legal risks of the situation presented by the client in advance and recommending possible preventive and management solutions. He, therefore, strives to instill a proactive approach in our clients instead of reactive legal work. He has extensive experience in providing legal support for the day-to-day operations of business associations (in the areas of civil and commercial law, labour law, and corporate law, including the preparation and review of legal opinions, contracts, other documentation, etc.), as well as in representing companies and individuals in litigation.

Dr. Tamás Németh

Trainee lawyer

Dr. Tamás Németh is currently working as a trainee lawyer at Dr. Sipka Law Office. He obtained his law degree at the Faculty of Law, University of Debrecen, where, as a student, he actively participated in both Hungarian and international academic life.

His main professional focus areas include labour law, corporate law, business law, and enforcement law. As a trainee lawyer, he believes that modern legal services can only be effective when they provide structured, client-oriented, and system-based solutions to complex problems. In his work, he consciously strives to ensure that legal solutions are not only legally sound but also seamlessly adaptable to real-world business operations. He approaches the legal services market not only from a lawyer’s perspective but also with a deep understanding of client needs, having grown up and worked in an entrepreneurial environment. His goal is to bridge the gap between legal norms and business realities, developing solutions that serve both the clients’ interests and legal compliance. He believes that the modern legal profession can only thrive if those engaged in it are diligent, committed, and seek to offer innovative solutions to contemporary challenges.

His doctoral research focuses on collective labour law, particularly the social and competition law aspects of collective enforcement of rights, with special attention to the institution of collective agreements. Alongside his professional activities, he has placed great emphasis on academic research. His scientific work has been recognized with several awards: he achieved second place in the György Mailáth Scientific Competition organized by the National Office for the Judiciary, and at the National Scientific Students’ Conference (OTDK).
