At his new firm, Kokenek will be co-heading the M&A and private equity practice and heading the employment and compliance practices.
Kokenek had been with his previous firm since 2022, when he joined Moral & Partners leading to its rebranding to Moral Kinikoglu Pamukkale Kokenek (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on July 22, 2022). Before that, he had been with the Baker McKenzie-affiliated Esin Attorney Partnership since 2010. He first joined the Esin team in 2010 and made Partner in 2021 (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on July 14, 2021). Earlier still, he was an Associate with the Bener Law Office, between 2007 and 2009.
"We are excited to welcome Sertac to the firm," Pekin Bayar Mizrahi Managing Partner Selin Bayar commented. "Sertac is recognized as a brilliant lawyer offering outstanding client service. Our global platform is the perfect fit for his multi-disciplinary practice."
Following Kokenek's departure, his previous firm changed its name to Moral Kinikoglu Pamukkale.
