Çakmak routinely handles public and private deals across the energy industry by structuring multi-layered joint ventures, investments and financings and acquisitions and divestitures. The Çakmak team is familiar with the entire suite of contractual structure and arrangements involved in the development of a power project, from permitting, through engineering, construction, financing and operation.
