ESENYEL & PARTNERS Lawyers and Consultants‘s transportation practice excels in both wet and dry shipping matters. On the contentious side, the team handles cargo claims, charter disputes, marine insurance issues, collisions, salvage operations, and towage disputes. In transactional work, the group advises on vessel sales and purchases, ship finance, and shipbuilding contracts. Founding partner Selçuk Sencer Esenyel represents an impressive roster of P&I Clubs, European banks, ports, shipowners, and charterers. Türker Yildirim is a versatile shipping lawyer, adept at navigating both maritime disputes and transactional matters. In 2025, the team expanded with the arrivals of Gülistan Baltacı Hatay and Semih Sander, previously at Balcioglu Selçuk Eymirlioglu Ardiyok Keki Attorney Partnership.
