Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Lexist is an expert in real estate development; from permits to leasing, construction to selling.’

  • ‘Our main contacts are Murat Erbilen and Mesut Kaya. Both are straightshooters. That is a style we prefer from our lawyers as our projects are already very difficult to organise.’

  • ‘The Lexist lawyers can do anything we need. It is a one-stop shop for us, so we do not need to chase other law firms and we only deal with one team. We work mainly with Mesut Kaya. He has been with us since the start of this long project.’

  • ‘The team is very large with experts in construction and also real estate. Our projects need both.’

  • ‘Mesut Kaya is our daily contact and he is very capable, driving a dedicated team of associates. We really like working with these lawyers and trust them.’

Work highlights

  • Advising the developer of the new Istanbul Financial Centre on all commercial lease agreements and building master management and individual plans.
