Pekin & Pekin’s pioneering record in cross-border banking, finance and capital markets matters is evidenced by its longstanding relationships with global banking heavyweights such as Goldman Sachs, HSBC and Deutsche Bank – all of whom it has been advising for over two decades. The group also counts multilaterals, alternative lenders and corporate borrowers among its extensive client roster. Following the recent departure of department co-head Eda Beltan, Göze Yıldırım solely leads the group and is particularly recognised for her growing reputation in the capital markets sphere; notably, she had a key role in representing the underwriters on all of the Republic of Turkey’s Eurobond issuances. Senior associate Göksu Gökay left in November 2022.
