I am dr. Bernadette Zsignár, founder of dr. Zsignár Law Firm.
I have been a lawyer since 2004, and a member of the Budapest Bar Association.
In the beginning of my career, I was involved in the foundation and licensing of financial enterprises and general legal representation of business entities.
In 2010 I graduated as a tax advisor and in 2012 as a certified turnover tax expert.

Since 2016, I have been carrying out data protection due diligence of credit institutions and financial enterprises and revising their regulations following the introduction of the GDPR. Subsequently, I conducted data protection works for several clients in other sectors. I have worked on data protection projects for accounting and healthcare service providers, communications service providers, data marketing companies, among others, as well as for several software developers and e-commerce companies.
Since 2014, I have been a member of the Hungarian Association of Chartered Accountants (MOKLASZ), and during its existence I was the head of the MOKLASZ Digital Working Group and a member of the EFAA (European Federation of Accountants and Auditors) Digital Working Group.
