UK DESK

“Buraya umutlu günler koydum.
Şimdilik uzak gibi görünüyor, ama kim bilir, birazdan uzanıp dokunursun.”

“I’ve placed some hopeful days here.
They look far away now, but who knows, you’ll reach out and touch them in a while.”

Birhan Keskin (1963)

TURUNÇ’s UK Desk is focused on cross-border transactions between the UK and Turkey. Since our founding, we have represented many UK businesses on a multitude of transactions and other needs in Turkey, including acquisitions, financing transactions, cross-border compliance issues and dispute resolution.

Similarly, we regularly represent Turkish companies looking to acquire UK-based companies or conduct other business in the UK. Our strong ties with leading law firms in the UK across a wide range of practice areas and industries allows us to identify the right co-counsel on all of our UK-related matters.

Our UK Desk is co-headed by two English law-qualified partners: Kerem Turunç and İltem Dokurlar.
