About

The Turkish legal team at Norwegian-based Statkraft, a leading international provider of hydropower and Europe’s largest generator of renewable energy, is recognised for its commitment to delivering world-class regional support to the company. Led by Başak Kont Sezgin, the team was restructured recently following changes to the company’s operational structure. Under the new “structure”, the team works closely with the business and has cemented its place as an important pre-emptive unit capable of preventing potential problems on business operations whilst simultaneously facilitating the company’s growth plans. The team has dealt with challenging market conditions and has assisted Statkraft’s regional operations by guiding it through amendments to the secondary legislation in Turkey. One nominator described Sezgin’s team as ‘among the sharpest operators in the Turkish market and a vital strategic pillar for the business as a whole.’
