Recently established as one of the splinter firms from the now defunct Pelister Atayilmaz Enkur Law Office, the ‘very experienced and talented’ team at Atayilmaz Enkür Çetinkaya Öner (AECO) Law Office has quickly made in-roads into the market providing ’tailored and innovative solutions’ to corporates in highly regulated industries, in particular. Much of the work is transactional, with ‘very accomplished’ team head Gokhan Enkur frequently teaming up with Yafes Öner – who joined the firm in March 2024 from Çakmak Attorney Partnership – on inbound M&A transactions for foreign investors.
