Eser Sarachoglou is a senior associate in our Europe team. A native Turkish speaker, Eser specialises in advising clients on Turkey-related matters. Since joining Risk Advisory, she has managed a wide range of integrity due diligence investigations in the energy, construction, retail, and pharmaceutical sectors. 

Most recently, Eser led an extended enquiry in Istanbul helping a financial services client entering Turkey for the first time to understand the opportunities and challenges of the local market. A core part of her work here was advising the client on potential risks arising from perceived proximity to the AKP government and the Erdoğan administration.

Prior to joining Risk Advisory, Eser worked at a London-based expert network firm where she assisted European private equity clients with pre-transactional due diligence.

Project highlights:

• Investigated the wealth accumulation story of a Turkish construction executive with a large footprint in Turkmenistan and Russia, in light of widespread allegations of bribery involving the Turkmen political elite.
• Conducted a viability assessment for a European commodities trader considering an investment in a UK-based renewable energy group.
• Conducted stakeholder mapping and competitor intelligence gathering as part of a public defence tender in western Europe on behalf of a global aerospace contractor.
