Turkey > Dispute resolution

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 associates Erdinç Dalar and Atakan Gungordu provide support. Fellow senior associate Ekinsu Cebi left to join the US-based Akerman LLP.

Turkey > Employment

CBC Law expanded its team in 2023, hiring two partners and a senior associate from Karahan & Aydın in April 2023: Gürhan Aydın, who leads the team alongside Kemal Altuğ Özgün and key litigator Torehan Buyuksoy. The latter is key for the group’s work in the Turkish Labour Courts. Established in 2020, the group’s workload covers a broad spectrum of matters, from labour law compliance to data privacy and tax restructuring.
