Energy law and investment in Turkey

Turkey occupies a strategically important position between Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia, and its energy sector is a significant magnet for domestic and foreign investment. Energy-related legal work typically draws on many of the disciplines in which Aigerim Sabit Bikmaz and BETA Law Office are active: corporate and commercial structuring for project vehicles and joint ventures, banking and finance for project funding, capital markets, regulatory and administrative law, and dispute resolution and international arbitration when disagreements arise. Cross-border energy and infrastructure projects in particular benefit from advisers who can combine local knowledge with the reach of an international network.

Investors entering the Turkish market must navigate corporate formation and governance rules, licensing and regulatory requirements, contractual frameworks for construction and supply, and mechanisms for resolving disputes. A practitioner with a strong grounding in corporate, commercial and cross-border work, backed by an international association such as GRATA, is well placed to guide clients through the structuring and execution of significant projects.

Local knowledge with international reach

One of the defining strengths of a firm operating in association with an international network is the combination of local depth and cross-border reach. For clients investing into Turkey or expanding out of it, this means access to advisers who understand the specifics of Turkish law and regulation while also being able to coordinate with colleagues across the GRATA International network in the countries of the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and beyond. Aigerim Sabit Bikmaz's own background, bridging a CIS-rooted perspective with strong expertise in the Turkish legal framework, embodies this bridging role. Her experience in structuring investment projects, advising on corporate governance and managing cross-border transactions is directly relevant to the kind of significant, internationally financed projects that characterise the energy and infrastructure sectors, where careful legal groundwork is essential to success.

Combining over a decade of experience, an international network and a results-focused approach, Aigerim Sabit Bikmaz is a prominent figure in Turkey's legal market for investment and cross-border work. The Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026 — Energy Law Expert of the Year in Turkey recognises her standing and the strength of BETA Law Office within the GRATA International association.
