Enes was educated and trained as an attorney in Istanbul, Turkey, one of the greatest cities in the world to visit (and live)! After practicing at Baker McKenzie’s Istanbul office as an M&A associate for four years, he decided to pursue his dream to move to the US, and so he attended Duke Law, where he received an LLM. After Duke Law, Enes’s passion for entrepreneurial and technology related law lead him to apply for a job with Bowery Legal, where he joined the team in September of 2022.
Enes feels a deep connection to his work, and is strongly incentivized in his work with the founders, entrepreneurs and investors the Bowery Legal represents to help them make a lasting impact in the world with their innovative ideas, and to help their companies and/or funds achieve the highest heights possible. To that end, he assists clients from formation until exit and every other phase in-between. To keep fresh, Enes plays soccer in his free time (and is a huge fan of professional soccer as well) and enjoys open-mic stand-up comedy shows.
