Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘The team has a huge experience in managing especially complex infrastructure financing. We got exceptional service with fast response rates. Their communication and collaboration were invaluable for us.’

• ‘We worked with Seyfi Can Kandemir.  Although the project was complex, with his accessibility and responsiveness and also his experience we could cope with all the difficulties and complexities and, in the end, we finalised the project smoothly and on time.’

• ‘Hunton has been excellent in providing a full range of support for our financing and M&A projects, as well as some commercial agreements. The firm has broad but profound expertise, and amazing responsiveness of lawyers.’

• ‘We primarily work with the partner Ayesha Waheed; we have been using Ayesha for many years and always go with her when she moves firms. Ayesha has a deep expertise, ability to form teams to support our projects that are very knowledgeable, pragmatic, and business-oriented. She understands emerging markets extremely well; she has excellent connections with local firms in each of the markets to assist us with the specifics of different laws.’

• 'Hunton's team was extraordinarily responsive and attentive, I would say 95th percentile of all of the corporate M&A transactions I've ever worked on. Highly competent lawyering, efficiently delivered, with fair billing. As an in-house GC this is exactly what we want in outside counsel and Hunton delivered it.'

• 'Seyfi Can Kandemir's knowledge of the Turkish market is excellent. He helped us navigate a complicated M&A transaction and related dispute, as well as a local marketing deal. His management of all our matters we've sent to Hunton has been simply excellent, with the Hunton team feeling like an extension of our in-house team rather than an external service provider.'
