Leveraging strong relationships with a myriad international law firms, as well as many direct ties with domestic and international corporates and private equity firms, Paksoy remains very prominent on both the buy and sell-side across a range of big-ticket domestic and cross-border M&A transactions. While it is sector agnostic, the team has been very active of late, handling deals within the financial services sector (including fintech and payments), with Stéphanie Beghe Sonmez and Nazlı Bezirci both advising on prominent and complex acquisitions in this space. Elvan Aziz, who heads up the overarching corporate practice, also excels in handling large-scale M&A transactions for strategic and financial investors, as well as advising across a range of day-to-day operational concerns for companies established in the country, including on corporate governance matters. Other key practitioners include M. Togan Turan for merger control issues; Nihan Bacanak, who excels at handling cross-border M&A, including within the retail and healthcare sectors; and Ayşe Demirel Atakan, who joined from Verdi Avukatlik Ortakligi in September 2024, further boosting the firm’s credentials on the private equity front.
