Coronavirus: Information for clients

Dear Clients,
Dear Business Partners,

The Turkish government has lifted restrictions concerning everyday life; however, for the safety of our employees and also our clients we prefer to continue keeping in-person meetings to a minimum at this time, until further notice.

Of course, we are still at your service at any time. You can reach your personal contact at CMS most reliably by e-mail, but you can also contact him/her by phone.

We sincerely hope that you and your families will get through these difficult times well!

CMS has been active in Turkey on behalf of our clients for more than two decades and opened an office in Istanbul in 2013. A team of 23 international and national lawyers focus on cross border and international transactions (M&A, private equity, capital markets and finance).

Through our association with YBK Law Firm, CMS provides our domestic and international clients with Turkish law advice across a full range of practice areas.

If you need support in Turkey, be it on large-scale cross border and international transactions, complex regulatory issues or your day-to-day operations, or to find out more about our team and practice, please give us a call.

We have a deep understanding of Turkey’s legal and business landscape and offer solutions to help our clients succeed at home and to reach out into markets across Europe and beyond. We are ready to serve you in your chosen business language: Turkish, English, German or French.
