Leading international law firm Clifford Chance assisted JP Morgan Chase Bank, BNP Paribas S.A. and ING European Financial Services PLC with the UKEF-covered financing provided to the Republic of Türkiye in connection with the Mersin-Adana-Osmaniye-Gaziantep High Speed Rail Project, which was undertaken by Türkiye’s Rönesans Holding Group under an EPC+F model.
This project represents a significant milestone for Türkiye’s national railway network, as it is expected to increase the share of rail for intercity transportation and enhance integration with other transportation modes.
The multi-jurisdictional Global Financial Markets team advising on the financing package included Partner Nikolaï Eatwell, Partner Sait Eryılmaz, Partner Jared Grubb, and Counsel Gökçe Uzun, with support from Associate Sida Özler and trainee lawyer Bilgesu Çakmak.
