Gen Temizer Erdogan Girgin Attorney Partnership

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘The banking team is a top team. The firm is led by female partners so they are the truly diverse team of Turkey.

The team has enlarged a lot in the last few years and new dedicated banking partners have joined the firm. ’

• Ömer Erdoğan is a star lawyer in the Turkish market. His deep expertise and impressive legal skills, as well as his approachable personality, make it a real pleasure to work with him. Dila Topuz, who is the head of the capital markets practice, is very talented, responsive, and works closely with the team members. Berke Yalçın is a rising talent in the Turkish market. He is hardworking, clever, and very business-minded. He is always available and highly responsive. We work with him long hours, and he is a lawyer who goes the extra mile. Both Ömer, Dila, and Berke advise us on our capital markets matters on a daily basis for our public subsidiary and they have greatly trained our team. Ömer Erdoğan led our debut Eurobond transaction and still advises us on our queries regarding the same with Berke on a regular basis.
• The team led by senior partner Ömer Erdoğan is impressive, and they have been our first choice law firm in our financing matters. During our complex financing project, they acted as the lead counsel in a multi-jurisdictional transaction where various jurisdictions related to the work were also handled by them. They always provide significant partner time and involvement, which is lacking in the Turkish market. Their proactive, responsive, and solution-oriented approach helps solve issues.
