Profile

Between European stability and Gulf growth.

I lead Global Corporate Services in Dubai, serve as a partner at Nadeem and Umendra, and founded Bolten Law Firm in Istanbul. My work sits where these three markets meet: shareholder agreements, cross-jurisdictional compliance, asset protection and succession planning that have to hold in more than one legal system at once.

Corridors

Three routes

Most of the work runs along three routes. Each one has its own paperwork, its own regulator and its own idea of what a company is.

  1. TürkiyeUAE

    Free zone and mainland structures for Turkish companies and families moving activity to the Gulf, with the Turkish side kept consistent.

  2. SwitzerlandTürkiye

    European holdings, shareholder agreements and investment into Türkiye, drafted so that both jurisdictions read the structure the same way.

  3. EuropeThe Gulf

    Trade and investment flows between European markets and the Emirates: compliance, governance and the succession planning that follows them.
