Mergers and Acquisitions

“Helping companies expand globally through smart, structured transactions.”

In an increasingly global economy, cross-border M&A transactions present unique opportunities and challenges. Our team -led by Dr. Zahide Altunbaş Sancak, having her PhD dissertation on the seller’s liability arising from the breach of representations and warranties in M&A transactions- has the experience to navigate the different legal systems, cultures, and regulatory environments involved in international deals.

We represent buyers, sellers, investors, and financial institutions in domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions. Our team guides clients through every stage of the transaction — from initial structuring and due diligence to negotiation, execution, and post-closing integration.

We handle a wide range of transactions, including share and asset purchases, joint ventures, spin-offs, restructurings, and private equity deals. We tailor our approach to each transaction, aligning legal strategy with the client’s commercial objectives and long-term growth plans.

We regularly act for international investors entering the Turkish market as well as Turkish companies expanding abroad. By working seamlessly with our finance and dispute resolution teams, we deliver integrated and commercially focused solutions that ensure smooth deal execution and risk mitigation.
