Balcioglu Selçuk Ardiyok KekiThe full-spectrum banking, finance and capital markets group at Balcioglu Selçuk Ardiyok Keki is recognised for its strength in unsecured interbank loan facilities (syndicated and bilateral), where it draws on complementary expertise in foreign exchange rules, tax and dispute resolution. Among its other key attributes, the wider firm’s association with the Dentons international network is also a significant draw, particularly for multinational clients.

The department is additionally co-led by Günhan Yalçın and Burcu Boso, both of whom bring to bear over 20 years of experience in representing lenders and borrowers on an array of banking and finance matters. Counsel Ceyda Aydın and senior associate Ceren Akkur Bayram provide specialist support.
