Eptalex grows and lands in Istanbul, in Türkiye, through the merger with the prestigious Turkish law firm MTN Hukuk. This merger integrates the consolidated activity of MTN Hukuk into the global network of Eptalex, international professional studio with offices in Milan, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Beirut, Jounieh and Istanbul, with 130 professionals, enhancing the firm's ability to provide comprehensive legal services throughout the region.
This expansion marks a significant milestone in Eptalex’s growth strategy, further consolidating its presence in the vibrant and strategic Turkish corporate and legal market. As part of the merger, MTN Hukuk will now operate under the name Eptalex, combining the expertise and resources of both firms into a cohesive and strengthened entity. Clients will benefit from the seamless integration of MTN Hukuk’s deep knowledge of Turkish law with Eptalex’s international experience in corporate law, tax, dispute resolution and regulatory compliance.
"With the MTN Hukuk studio, after years of fruitful collaboration on the Turkish market, the great professional harmony has resulted in the merger. We are confident that we can offer an increasingly complete service to Italian companies that need to have professionals in Turkey and vice versa" comment Jacopo Gasperi e Charles Garcia, Founding Partners of Eptalex. “This is a significant step in the growth of Eptalex, the result of a well-planned expansion strategy, which aims to respond to the growing needs of customers in contexts where opportunities and challenges of international scope intertwine”.
“We are thrilled to welcome MTN Hukuk to the Eptalex family,” said Ramy Torbey, Managing Partner of Eptalex. “This merger allows us to better serve our clients in Turkey and provide them with world-class legal solutions through an integrated approach.”
Umut Metin, Managing Partner of MTN Hukuk, who now heads Eptalex’s operations in Turkey, added: “The merger with Eptalex represents a new chapter for our firm, allowing us to leverage Eptalex’s global network while continuing to provide the exceptional legal services our clients expect. Together, we are stronger and better positioned to support local and international clients across a variety of sectors. As MTN Law, we have brought our strong reputation in Turkey and international experience to Eptalex, with whom we have had a long and successful partnership. Through this integration, we are increasing our services in Italy, the UAE, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and our home country of Turkey. We believe that the presence of our 34-partner law firm in Istanbul – the city whose license plate number is 34 – is a significant sign, not just a coincidence. The positioning of Eptalex-MTN Hukuk in Turkey, as a central hub for the Gulf, Asia and Europe, will enable even greater success. We believe that we will achieve numerous successes in the areas of litigation, mediation and arbitration, as well as in local and international disputes, mergers and acquisitions, foreign investment in Turkey and legal dispute resolution.”
The new firm will offer a full range of services, including corporate advisory, local and international legal services, commercial litigation, local and international dispute mediation, M&A, tax structuring, dispute resolution and compliance, while maintaining a commitment to providing customized and client-focused legal solutions.
