Webinar: Buying Your Distributor

Webinar

Our highly demanded seminar “Buying Your Distributor” is back!

Buying your distributor may seem like just another M&A deal. However, these deals are different; they are concluded more quickly and the parties are already familiar with each other.

Our partners Duygu Turgut (M&A), Dr. Erdal Ekinci (Tax), Yalın Akmenek (Compliance), and Sertaç Kökenek (Employment) and associate Sinan Diniz (Competition) will discuss why you should be more vigilant and careful in these deals, covering the subject from five different legal perspectives at our “Buying Your Distributor” webinar on 20 January 2022, from 2.00 pm until 4.00 pm (GMT +3).
