- Q & A with Ela Cenudioğlu
Your current occupation and country of work?
I am a free-lance lawyer in Istanbul, Turkey. Before I came back to Istanbul, in 2014 I went to Luxembourg to complete my LL.M. degree in Banking and Finance Law at University of Luxembourg. After that I stayed in Luxembourg and worked as a legal officer at Luxembourg Bankers’ Association (“ABBL”).
How you use European law in your work?
I have clients from Turkey who want to invest in Europe. These clients are Turkish companies who need the assistance of a Turkish lawyer with an expertise in both Turkish Company law and European Company law. I use European Company Law when I give legal advice to them while they want to set up a company and funds in a European country, especially in Luxembourg.
How you benefitted from the scholarship and the gained knowledge?
I benefited a lot from the scholarship: I had the chance to update my knowledge and I also became more acquainted with European Company Law related matters. Also, as I have my own practice, it is important for me to expand my network. This annual conference gave me the opportunity to network and connect with many legal practitioners who are experts in their fields. I believe that I will benefit more as I advance my career and gain more clients in the meantime.
