About

I am an experienced corporate lawyer with over 32 years’ experience acting for clients ranging from multinational conglomerates to UNHWI’s and family offices. I also lead our Turkey desk.

I specialise in mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, investment and shareholder agreements and in commercial and trading contracts across diverse business sectors, with particular experience of corporate real estate transactions and a focus on the UK trading and investment activities of international groups and wealthy oversea families.

I act for multinational conglomerates, financial institutions and owner-managed family businesses as well as family offices and ultra-high net worth individuals. Sectors include consumer goods, construction and property, food, leisure, paper and packaging, retail and TMT.

I am a director of the Turkish-British Chamber of Commerce and Industry and lead our Turkey desk. I am passionate about the value of education as a key to unlock potential.
