Bird & Bird explained that, "the move follows significant client demand for legal services in the region, particularly in the technology and media sectors, where BTS & Partners is an acknowledged market leader.

This association will allow both firms to provide comprehensive legal services for multinational corporations competing in the Turkish market and for the growing number of Turkish companies competing in the global markets.  

Bird & Bird CEO David Kerr said: 'Turkey has proved a significant region for our clients, particularly those in technology driven sectors.
