International & Cross-Border Capabilities

A highly capable full-service offering in Turkey, Kolcuoğlu Demirkan Koçaklı is increasingly establishing itself on the international stage. Formed in 2010, the team offers cross-border support to clients in both transactional and contentious areas of law, and is able to handle a combination of inbound and outbound work. The law firm services the multi-jurisdictional needs of its clientele primarily through the connections it establishes with overseas practices, and the team is frequently sought out to advise on Turkish law in an international context. Clients seeking advice in relation to Germany are particularly well served by the firm's German desk, and the team maintains close ties to firms in the jurisdiction.

The law firm's M&A practitioners are accustomed to working on cross-border deals, including the representation of homegrown entities expanding into overseas jurisdictions. The team also demonstrates multi-jurisdictional financing capabilities, acting for international lenders on a range of cross-border banking transactions. Members of the team also demonstrate a strong track record of advising on infrastructure and energy projects that are international in scope. Clients facing multi-jurisdictional contentious proceedings can also look to the firm's dispute resolution team, which is known to act for Turkish clients on overseas matters.

"Our claims have cross-border elements in three different continents/regions and not only jurisdictions. KDK, through their local and international network and associations, have led all efforts to go through such challenges."

"They are able to work with international co-counsel and international clients in great harmony and are able to provide legal service on a level that is accepted by international standards."
