Turunc pulled off a smart recruitment coup this year when it hired Kerem Turunc, an experienced international M&A lawyer from Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton. Turunc joined the firm, which spreads itself across Izmir and Ankara as well as Istanbul, on the 1 September and it is hoped he can help boost the firm’s cross-border capability.
In terms of work, partner Noyan Turunc, who previously worked in-house at both Boeing and Coca Cola, took the lead on a number of good deals for the firm. On one he advised HSH Nordbank on a credit facility extended to a Turkish company worth €2.6 million and also headed up a team, alongside Ahmet Guran, that advised Ruralmed in its acquisition of Santanyi from Coflusa. This transaction completed in January 2011 for a figure approaching $2.6 million.
