Newly rebranded as KST Law / Kinstellar Istanbul following internal restructuring, Kinstellar’s Turkish affiliate office maintains a strong offering in the market, particularly in the context of large-scale cross-border M&A mandates where the firm is singled out for its ‘brilliant mix of local and international experience’. This is best exemplified by English-law-qualified Edmund Emre Özer who acts for strategic and financial investors on M&A across a variety of sectors. Ozer co-heads the team alongside Mert Elçin, who is ’exceptionally smart, technically strong and eminently pragmatic’. The team was also boosted in December 2024 by the arrival of Yağmur İpek Özen from Gen Temizer Erdogan Girgin Attorney Partnership.
