An "ügyvéd" is a Hungarian term for a lawyer or attorney who provides legal advice and representation to clients. They specialize in various areas of law, including criminal, civil, and administrative matters. The primary role of an ügyvéd is to ensure that their clients' rights are protected and to help them navigate the legal system. In Hungary, becoming an ügyvéd requires a law degree and passing a bar exam. They must also adhere to ethical standards and continue their legal education throughout their careers. Clients often seek the assistance of an ügyvéd for issues such as contracts, disputes, or legal proceedings involving bíróság (courts).
