Bezen & Partners

With an excellent grasp of both Turkish and Common Law legal concepts, Bezen & Partners provides 'a very high quality service' to domestic and international lenders and borrowers on often very complex multi-jurisdictional new money and refinancing matters. Led by 'exceptionally skilled' English-law qualified partner Yeşim Bezen, the team has undoubtedly gained most acclaim over the years for its project finance prowess, including within the renewable energy sector. Here, the firm is often required to provide financing solutions utilising both commercial bank debt and development bank-sourced debt, an area that the 'highly responsive, commercially savvy, and incredibly thorough' Banu Bölükemini is particularly adept - in part due to her prior secondment at the EBRD. Murat Soylu  is well-versed at handling financial services regulatory matters, knowledge with which he deploys to good effect on a standalone basis as well as in relation to his transactional capital markets.
