CBC Law’s dispute resolution group primarily focuses on commercial litigation and arbitration cases. Despite its compact size, the boutique firm handles a significant volume of cross-border work, and is currently involved in two ICSID proceedings. The team is led jointly by managing partners Lale Defne Mete, whose practice spans corporate, real estate and dispute resolution, and Törehan Büyüksoy, who specialises in criminal law, commercial litigation and administrative disputes. Senior associate Atakan Gungordu provides support. Fellow senior associate Ekinsu Cebi left to join the US-based Akerman LLP.
