Vircon Legal Consultancy
Client SatisfactionSince its establishment in 2016, Vircon Legal Consultancy has focused on work for start-ups in the burgeoning start-up ecosystem. As a result of the firm’s involvement as somewhat of a “first-mover” in the now flourishing sector, the firm has gained excellent connections and knowledge as to the needs of start-ups throughout their growth strategies, incorporating some pertinent legal/business strategies from more mature venture capital markets, including the US. Key to the firm’s success in the sector is team head Erdem Hacıpaşaoğlu who has ‘impressive legal expertise and deep understanding of the start-up ecosystem and founders’ perspectives’. He is one of many in the team, which also includes the ’meticulous and detail-oriented’ Kubilay Doruk Cetin and Elif Eyilmaz, who are also skilled at handling cross-border mandates, most specifically in relation to “flipping” a Turkish company to the US.
