Gen Temizer Erdogan Girgin Attorney Partnership

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• Ömer Erdoğan is, for us, the best and most hardworking banking lawyer in the market. This is said by all members of our in-house legal and finance teams. His deep experience in the banking and finance field, his excellent English and drafting skills, and his strong negotiation skills make us comfortable, and we feel secure while working with him. He handled various challenging issues, and with his balanced business-minded approach, he made it easier for us to navigate potential challenges. Also, Göze and Nekra are very responsive and proactively follow up on our finance projects. I strongly believe the Gen Temizer Erdoğan Girgin team is one of the top law firms in the banking field in the market. They deserve strong and top recognition while seeing other ranked law firms.
• Gen Temizer Erdoğan Girgin is our sole law firm that helps us with banking and capital markets matters. They are, in our view, the best in their field, under the leadership of Ömer Erdoğan, who stands out with his excellent legal talents, knowledge, and experience. The team is very up-to-date and always available to assist. They are not only a law firm but also a know-how developer and trainers, having delivered various legal trainings to our different teams. The banking finance and capital markets team at Gen Temizer Erdoğan always goes the extra mile when assisting us, not only focusing on the legal part of the projects but also providing overall project management assistance.
• 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.
• 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.
• ‘Work was completed to a high standard, on time and at a competitive price.’
