Igniters Tech Law

Corporate M&A

Senior Counsel

Emre is an Attorney at Igniters Tech Law, registered with the Istanbul Bar Association, and one of the firm's key voices at the intersection of law, technology, and global markets.

Emre honed his transactional skills at some of Türkiye's most respected law firms, where he worked on sophisticated commercial matters, mergers and acquisitions, and cross-border transactions. That foundation gave him the technical rigor and deal instincts he now applies daily to the fast-moving world of technology law.

At Igniters, Emre's practice is squarely focused on what technology companies need most as they scale: he advises startups on global expansion strategy, manages incorporation and post-incorporation procedures across multiple jurisdictions, and works across some of the most dynamic and fast-evolving areas of the law, including intellectual property, entertainment law, biotech and health law, cryptocurrency, gaming, and fintech. He is particularly drawn to the intersection of law and emerging technologies, and makes a point of staying at the forefront of developments in each of these fields as they continue to evolve.

Among his most valued contributions to client engagements is his facility with complex cap table structuring and waterfall calculations. Whether advising on a new financing round, modeling the economic implications of liquidation preferences, or stress-testing distribution scenarios across multiple share classes and investor tranches, Emre brings an analytical precision to equity economics that gives founders and investors alike a clear and reliable picture of what a deal actually means in practice.

Koç University Faculty of Law, LL.B.

He brings to his practice an unusually broad intellectual foundation, holding degrees from Koç University Faculty of Law alongside a track in Sociology and Gender Studies, a combination that equips him with the kind of interdisciplinary perspective that proves invaluable when navigating the nuanced legal and human dimensions of today's most complex transactions.

From an early age, Emre demonstrated a rare aptitude for mathematics, earning a medal in the Math Olympics, a distinction that speaks directly to the quantitative mindset he brings to legal problem-solving today. He approaches even the most intricate matters with the same combination of rigor, structure, and intellectual curiosity that first set him apart as a student.

Outside the office, Emre is an enthusiastic traveler who draws genuine inspiration from different cultures, cities, and landscapes. His curiosity extends to food and new experiences, and he brings that same sense of openness and discovery to his work, always looking for the angle others might miss.
