About

With over 13 years of experience at tobacco giant Philip Morris International, Ahmet Berkan is one of the most trusted in-house advisers for the company in the region, having spent time in Istanbul and Dubai in the respective roles of legal counsel and senior counsel – director before assuming his current role. Recommended as a lawyer who possesses ‘outstanding skills and hardwork’ by nominating sources, Berkan is praised for his team leadership skills as well as the experience and knowledge he has gained on a ‘range of complex matters in a range of practice areas’. Berkan is also known for his ‘professionalism, passion for work, commitment and integrity. [Berkan] is always approachable and effectively works with all members of our team. These are just some of the factors that lead me to believe that this nomination and recognition is justified’. Berkan and other legal colleagues at the company will be moving away from its traditional products in the favour of smoking alternatives.
