Deniz Tuncel is among the leaders in our Energy and M&A practice groups and has played a key role in some of the most ground-breaking Energy and M&A transactions that have occurred in Turkey in the last decade. Mr. Tuncel has a personal affinity for Asia, and was seconded to the cross border transactional practice of one of the most prestigious law firms in Japan. Mr. Tuncel serves as an editor for the Turkish Commercial Law Review, where he acted as co-editor-in-chief of the Japan issue.
Mr. Tuncel has acted as lead Turkish counsel in some of the landmark M&A transactions that have occurred in the Turkish e-commerce sector. He also focuses on major energy development projects such as cross-border pipelines, renewables, and electricity generation facilities. Mr. Tuncel’s experience in the field of energy concerns every phase of an energy investment, from project development through the transfer of the investment or decommissioning, where his insight into the regulatory framework governing the energy market and its environmental impact makes a substantial difference. His work has included one of Turkey’s largest cross-border asset swap deals involving a vertically integrated power generation and distribution group, the sale of the Turkish business of a major international oil and gas company to another, and representation of the project company in what will ultimately be the largest cross border natural gas pipeline in the region.
