He subsequently joined the National Bank of Hungary (Magyar Nemzeti Bank) as legal counsel, initially working within the Capital Markets and Market Supervision Directorate before serving in the Cabinet of the Deputy Governor responsible for Monetary Policy. During this period, he acquired extensive expertise in financial regulation, capital markets supervision, and central banking.
Between 2019 and 2026, Dr Góbi headed his own practice, Góbi Law Firm, providing high-level legal services in the fields of corporate and commercial law, banking law, financial law, credit institution workout and restructuring, real estate law, regulatory compliance, and trust and fiduciary asset management.
