Türkiye

Schoenherr’s Istanbul office assists international clients with their investments in Türkiye and advises Turkish clients on their business interests in Central and Eastern Europe.

The office specialises in corporate and m&a transactions, real estate transactions, financings and commercial litigation and is particularly experienced in advising on large cross-border transactions.

First set up in 2009 through a formalised cooperation between Schoenherr and the Istanbul based Çelepçi law firm, the office was fully integrated into Schoenherr’s regional network in 2013. The Türkiye office is the firm’s stronghold in the single largest national market and Europe’s fastest-growing economy.

The Istanbul team comprises 20 fee earners, including managing partner Levent Çelepçi. In addition, Vienna-based partner Alexander Popp supports the Istanbul team in Turkish m&a and energy projects.
