Tuğçe Yalçın

Tuğçe is a dual-qualified lawyer (Attorney at Law in Austria and Solicitor of the Senior Courts of England and Wales) having a strong focus on cross-border M&A, Private Equity (PE), Joint Venture (JV), Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) and financial transactions as well as on global corporate restructurings including the regulatory aspects such as the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Screening Regulation and the export control.

Her ability to practice law in both a civil law and a common law jurisdiction, her Turkish roots, language skills (being native in German, English and Turkish) and her excellent network in Türkiye and within Turkish communities outside of Türkiye make her an ideal Head of our CEE Turkish Desk. This desk bundles comprehensive expertise for Turkish investors and companies that want to enter the CEE markets as well as for CEE based investors and companies that want to position themselves in Türkiye.

Tuğçe has many years of experience in advising national and international clients in transactions often involving multiple jurisdictions. Another main area of her practice are transport & logistics projects often with a focus on the CEE region. She regularly writes and speaks at conferences on a wide range of corporate law and FDI topics.
