Testimonials  
“What sets Gen Temizer apart is its extraordinary responsiveness and 'can-do' attitude. The team worked 24/7 without hesitation to meet our demanding deadlines. Their deep-rooted expertise in capital markets allowed them to provide proactive solutions to complex legal hurdles. We were particularly impressed by the team’s accessibility and their ability to remain composed under high pressure. They don’t just act as legal advisors; they integrate themselves into the project like a core part of the internal team. Their commitment to excellence and their tireless work ethic made them stand out as a premier legal partner.” – Capital markets

“What stands out about Gen Temizer is the combination of deep capital markets expertise with a genuine commercial understanding of our business. It’s team’s capital markets lawyers navigated our IPO with a level of technical precision that gave us full confidence vis-à-vis the CMB and the regulators; they anticipated issues before they arose rather than simply reacting to them. Post-listing, they have effectively become an extension of our in-house team; the retainer model works because they know our business, our governance structure, and our risk appetite, which means their advice is practical and tailored rather than generic.
On the M&A side, in the Adapazarı Şeker acquisition, we have particularly appreciated their ability to lead complex negotiations while keeping commercial sensitivities in mind. They push hard where it matters but know when to be pragmatic. Partner involvement is consistent and substantive throughout, not just at the kick-off. Their response times, the quality of their drafting, and their willingness to give a clear view rather than hedge are the things that make them stand out from other firms we have worked with.” – M&A

“One of the things that distinguishes Gen Temizer is the team's ability to combine sophisticated project finance expertise with a highly commercial and solutions-oriented approach. Rather than focusing solely on legal analysis, they demonstrate a deep understanding of the commercial drivers, financing structures, allocation of risk, and practical realities of complex infrastructure and energy projects.
What also sets Gen Temizer apart is the senior-level attention provided throughout the engagement. The team combines international-standard legal expertise with an excellent understanding of the Turkish regulatory and commercial environment, which is particularly valuable for cross-border financings and large-scale infrastructure investments.” – Project finance

“Baran Gen manages client relations and does it very well.” – Project finance

“Berke Yalçın is a highly dedicated and detail-oriented professional who played a vital role in the execution of our IPO. He stands out with his exceptional speed and accuracy in drafting and reviewing complex legal documents. What impressed us most was his proactive communication; he consistently kept us informed and was always a step ahead of the potential requirements of the process. Even under extreme pressure and tight deadlines, Berke maintained a very positive and solution-oriented attitude. He is a true team player who goes above and beyond to help ensure the success of the project.” – Capital markets

“Berke Yalçın has been deeply involved in our IPO and in the ongoing post-listing compliance work, and he is also part of the team advising us on the Adapazarı Şeker acquisition. What stands out about Berke is the level of ownership he takes; he runs workstreams independently, anticipates what we will need next, and we frequently deal with him directly without having to escalate. His technical knowledge of the capital markets legislation and CMB practice is genuinely strong for his level of seniority; his drafting is precise, his analysis is clear, and he can translate complex regulatory points into practical guidance that we can act on. He is also extremely responsive and reliable when it comes to timing; when he commits to a deadline, it is met. On the M&A side, he has shown a real ability to handle transactional pressure and attention to detail. He combines technical strength with a calm, commercial manner that makes him very easy to work with. He is the kind of associate you trust with substance, not just process.” – M&A

“Dila Topuz is an exceptional partner who stands out with her remarkable 'hands-on' approach, which is rare at her level of seniority. She doesn't just supervise; she actively involves herself in the intricate details of the transaction, ensuring that nothing is overlooked. Her ability to simplify complex legal structures and provide clear, actionable strategic advice was crucial to our IPO process. She manages her team with great efficiency while maintaining a direct and accessible line of communication with us. Her dedication, legal acumen, and practical problem-solving skills make her one of the finest partners I have ever worked with.” – Capital markets

“Dila Topuz is genuinely outstanding. As a capital markets partner, she brings a rare combination of deep regulatory expertise, particularly on CMB practice and post-IPO compliance, with the commercial instincts of a seasoned M&A lawyer, which means she sees transactions in their full strategic context rather than just as a technical exercise. On our IPO, she was hands-on from start to finish; her command of the regulatory framework was such that we never felt exposed in front of the CMB.
Post-listing, she has been our go-to adviser on the full range of capital markets compliance and corporate matters, and her advice is consistently clear, commercial, and decisive. She takes a position rather than giving us optionality and leaving us to decide. What I particularly value is her availability and responsiveness at partner level: she is reachable, engaged, and personally involved in the substance of the work, not just supervising from a distance. She is also a strong negotiator: calm, well-prepared, and effective in finding solutions when discussions become difficult.” – M&A

“Göze Yıldırım is an exceptional project finance lawyer who combines outstanding technical expertise with a highly commercial and solutions-oriented approach. She has a remarkable ability to navigate complex financing structures, coordinate multiple stakeholders, and deliver pragmatic advice under demanding timelines. We value her responsiveness, attention to detail, and deep understanding of both lender and sponsor perspectives, which allows her to anticipate issues and find practical solutions before they become obstacles. Her calm leadership, strong negotiation skills, and commitment to achieving successful outcomes make her a trusted adviser on sophisticated domestic and cross-border financing transactions.” – Project finance

“Ömer Erdoğan has impeccable knowledge of finance deals.” – Project finance
