  • ‘Generally, in Türkiye, banking and finance or M&A lawyers don't usually provide legal services in energy matters even if they are related to the development part of the projects, but Esin does. This is an amazing advantage for the clients.’

  • ‘Nigar in particular is an excellent source in this field.’
