Esin Attorney Partnership, Member Firm of Baker & McKenzie International, a Swiss Verein is particularly adept at providing ‘strong legal and commercial guidance’ on cross-border M&A mandates where it benefits from ’outstanding coverage across jurisdictions’. This manifests itself both in public and private equity-led transactions, with the team benefiting from particular strengths in the the gaming, TMT, food and beverage and manufacturing sectors.

Ali Selim Demirel, who worked on this deal alongside Kursun, also has ’a proven track record in M&A law’, providing an additional level of expertise in risk management and post M&A disputes. Of the more junior practitioners, the ‘outstanding’ Orçun Solak excels at handling transactions in the gaming, e-commerce and media sectors, and Mehmetcan Atasoy handles sales and acquisitions, including share transfers and subscriptions, asset transfers, JVs and public equity offerings.
