We are thrilled to announce that our firm will officially be transforming from Moral & Partners to Moral | Kınıkoğlu | Pamukkale | Kökenek, an attorney partnership, as of July 1, 2022. Founded in 1968, Moral has undergone a remarkable transformation since 2013 and has grown into one of the pre-eminent law firms in Turkey. With the efforts of 70 + professionals, Moral is now steering the legal market in Turkey. This could not have been achieved without the confidence of our esteemed clients in us and our dedicated team - thank you all.

A new age begins. We will now be providing legal services as Moral | Kınıkoğlu | Pamukkale | Kökenek Attorney Partnership. Building on our legacy since 1968, we will carry the firm into the future using our well-established, highest quality services combined with a proven, new generation approach. We will do our best to ensure a sustainable future for our team and clients.  

We are also glad to announce that Sertaç Kökenek, one of Turkey's leading lawyers and legal minds, will be joining us as a Senior Partner in this new structure. Mr. Kökenek was previously working at another global law firm’s Istanbul operations, where he was a Partner and spent 12 years. He will be leading the Advisory Practice and his areas of focus will be M&A / PE, Corporate, Employment and Compliance.

His experience in these fields allows him to have a firm grasp of numerous layers of an M&A transaction. This comes in handy for clients, especially during negotiation and closing phases. He advises national and international clients and has a deep knowledge of advisory practices. In addition to his M&A and PE experience, his successful track record on employment issues including stock option implications deserves special mention and he also has a profound knowledge about white collar crime & investigation.
