Since its establishment in 1997, the firm has enjoyed rapid growth and expansion which has given it a solid and enduring reputation in the local and international market. The roots of the firm goes back twenty years, when the founding and senior partner commenced his practice in 1987 advising foreign investors doing business in Turkey. The firm continues to strengthen its reputation through work across a wide range of sectors by providing legal services to domestic and international businesses and financial organizations doing business in Turkey. The firm offers legal advice to private and public companies, private equity clients, lenders, borrowers and financial institutions as well as representing Turkish regulatory agencies and government bodies.

As commented by Chambers & Partners, Paksoy is recognised for its “thorough and creative approach, business orientation, first class service” and “ability in delivering a lot of quality work in a short time frame”.

Foreign-based clients account for a substantial part of the firm’s practice through work in different sectors such as industry, trading, services, real estate and banking and finance.  Particularly in the past five years, through significant growth in size and complexity of transactions in mergers and acquisitions, private equity, IPOs, banking and finance, real estate and privatisations, Paksoy has advised on many of the significant deals that have taken place in Turkey.

At Paksoy, we take pride in our practice and value the clients that we serve. It is of utmost importance that we work in line with our principles and values which means that we maintain professionalism, discretion and confidentiality of our clients’ business while at the same time providing high quality and definitive work in an efficient manner. 

While our clients come first, we always recognize that being on top of domestic and international developments is necessary in order to provide high standards of service to clients, and therefore continuing education is a vital part of our lawyers’ professional development. It is key to our practice that our lawyers are continually updated and knowledgeable of the changes within each practice area.
