Clifford Chance has announced today that Jared Grubb has been appointed Istanbul Office Managing Partner, taking over from the office’s founding Managing Partner Simon Williams who is returning to London to focus on client work.
Grubb, who was previously Kyiv Office Managing Partner for Clifford Chance before the firm closed that office in December 2015 (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on December 7, 2015), commented: “I am delighted to be joining the office and look forward to working with colleagues as we continue to build our presence in Turkey and the wider region. This is an important market for our clients, and our ability to deliver international and local advice seamlessly gives us the best platform to advise clients on their most important projects in the region.”
Simon Williams comments: “I am hugely proud of the work we have done for clients in my time here. In just five years we have consolidated our position as one of the leading international firms in this important market. I will greatly miss seeing my colleagues every day, but look forward to continuing to work with them and many of my current clients after my return to London.”
Established in 2011, Clifford Chance’s Istanbul office operates under a consultancy arrangement to deliver local law advice with Turkish law firm Yegin Ciftci Attorney Partnership. It claims to have been involved “in almost every major infrastructure, energy and leveraged finance transaction in the market for both domestic and international clients.”
