For many years, Chadbourne has been offering sophisticated legal counsel for business transactions involving Turkey. We continually reinforce our commitment to Turkey and its region by handling matters from our London and New York offices. Experienced Chadbourne lawyers in these offices include two partners and one associate who are fluent in the Turkish language. Our established regional presence enables us to mobilize the right resources to assist clients effectively and efficiently on a vast array of corporate matters.
Our strong track record in the Turkish market is evidenced both by the range of transactions we have counseled on and the range of clients we have represented. Chadbourne has been involved in inbound/outbound transactions, mergers and acquisitions, privatizations, infrastructure projects, restructurings, project finance, securities, as well as other corporate matters in Turkey. In these transactions, our clients have ranged in size from multinational corporations to small and mid-sized companies establishing or expanding their operations. Our clients encompass the banking, financial services, telecommunications, insurance, energy, consumer goods, and construction industries.
Our Turkish practice group in London and New York offers clients a team of accomplished, business-oriented lawyers experienced in all aspects of transactional work as well as in the Turkish market. In addition, we often draw on the talents of our lawyers from other Chadbourne offices, including Moscow, Kiev and Washington, DC. Through effective coordination of these additional resources, we provide our clients in Turkey with in-depth experience and the highest quality service.
