Recognised as one of Türkiye’s leading maritime law firms, Esenyel & Partners manages a significant volume of multi-jurisdictional and technically complex matters, including shipping disputes, marine insurance claims, casualties, charterparty disputes, and regulatory advisory work.
The firm operates through specialised teams led by senior practitioners with deep sectoral expertise. Its continuous talent model enables junior lawyers to assume responsibility at an early stage, strengthening both technical capability and long-term institutional depth.
The integrated working model across its Istanbul, Dubai, and Germany offices ensures coordinated handling of cross-border matters. This structure enhances consistency in legal analysis and decision-making efficiency across multiple legal systems, while providing younger team members with early exposure to international practice.
Institutional Depth and Sectoral Leadership
The firm’s active engagement in national and international professional platforms further reinforces its institutional framework. Senior team members holding decision-making roles within organisations such as BIMCO, alongside leadership positions within maritime law committees of the Istanbul Bar, maintain close alignment with sectoral developments and regulatory evolution.
Beyond dispute resolution and advisory work, Esenyel & Partners has developed a structured collaboration model with universities to facilitate the transition from legal education to practice. This approach supports talent development while preserving institutional knowledge within the firm.
