About

Now head of legal and compliance, Paflak goes through the main highlights that she can look back on in her career so far. ‘The top three highlights’, she says, ‘have been the reduction of all the company’s court cases with “accommodationist” legal actions, winning notable Turkish electricity tenders and finalising the lots of various solar and wind M&A projects. As an in-house counsel, I have worked different aspects of various projects: M&A, litigation in both commercial and administrative courts, tenders, different commercial and corporate issues to name a few’.
