Testimonials

  • 'We have been working with Tunc Firat Dereli since 2021. Zeynel Tunc, one of the firm's founding partners, has a lot of experience in the metal mining sector, both in international and local financing projects. In 2023 we decided to run an IPO process and wanted to work with Tunc Firat Dereli. The mutual trust we built over the years and their know-how in our project make them unique.'
  • 'Zeynel Tunç and his team always allocate the required amount of time. If we ask them for a legal opinion I do not remember a single case in which we received the note after the deadline. They are a very structured firm, and they have expertise in coordinating third parties as well (such as auditors, banks, banks' advisors, etc).'
  • ‘I feel safe and secure when working with them. Good collaboration. They follow your instructions. Fast response.’
