Nilufer Turkcu Hıra has become the new Head Legal Counsel at Calik Holding in Turkey.

Çalik Holding operates in the energy, construction and real estate, textile, mining, finance, and telecom sectors. It has operations in 22 countries across Central Asia, the Balkans, and the Middle East and North Africa, and employs nearly 40,000 people.

Hira joined Calik Holding in November 2016 after spending the previous two years as a Senior Associate with the Paksoy Law Firm, and the eleven years before that with the Birsel Law Firm, both in Istanbul. She received both her law degree (in 2002) and LL.M. (2006) from the Istanbul University Faculty of Law.

When contacted by CEE Legal Matters, Hira said that "it is a great honor for me to be appointed as the Head of Legal at Calik Holding, one of the major market players in Turkey. I believe that my past experience at Lidya Madencilik, the mining subsidiary of Calik Holding, gave me a lot of insight about the activities of the Group; therefore I feel myself very lucky to have started at Lidya Madencilik which helped me to understand the entire picture. In the legal department of Calik Holding, we have a successful, enthusiastic, and results-driven team and I am looking forward to utilizing our talents for the benefit of our company."
