Clifford Chance (CC) is set to launch in Turkey next year, with the magic circle firm planning to relocate a partner from London to open the base.

City finance partner Simon Williams is due to move to Turkey to lead the Istanbul office, which will formally launch in spring 2011. Two associates will also relocate to Turkey, with the office operating in co-operation with local firm Yegin Legal Consultancy (YLC) to meet local Bar rules.
