GRATA International has signed Memorandum of Understanding and Co-operation with the Isikal Law Office in Istanbul, giving the law firm a foothold by the Bosphorus.
The Isikal Law Office was established by Alper Isikal. According to a GRATA press release, Isikal "provides legal support and consulting services in many areas of law, such as: real estate and construction, business, energy, commercial law, corporate law, contract law, zoning law, intellectual property, as well as provides opportunity to clients by acting as a solution partner.”
According to GRATA Senior Partner Tiek Baigabulov, “appearance of our associated office in Turkey, represented by Isikal Law Office, is a great convenience for our customers, professional development for the team and strengthening of the friendship between our countries and people. Office in Istanbul will be a great support for the further promotion of our firm”.
Alper Isikal, the Founding and Managing Partner of his eponymous law office, is similarly enthusiastic: “I think it is exciting for all of us that the professional expertise and experience of the team of the Isikal Law Office is going to integrate with Grata International. As is known, Turkey is between Asia and Europe from the East to the West as well as it is between Russia and Middle East from the North to the South. The Isikal Law Office is located in Istanbul, which is the heart of the business life in Turkey. I believe the team of the Isikal Law Office will continue to give legal support to the clients effectively and efficiently as known, and within this association with Grata International will carry out it to as enlarged area.”
GRATA’s associated office in Istanbul comes a mere three months after it entered into a similar MOU with the Arzinger & Partners law firm in Minsk, as reported by CEE Legal Matters on August 13, 2015.
