About Ebru

I help tech, SaaS and growth-stage companies structure, negotiate and execute commercial contracts, SaaS agreements and cross-border transactions. My focus is on turning legal complexity into clear, executable structures that reduce risk and enable fast, confident business decisions.

I work with founders, investors and international teams in fast-moving environments where legal decisions directly impact revenue, scalability and deal success.

My typical work includes drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, supporting cross-border deal execution, identifying legal and contractual risks early, and ensuring that agreements are enforceable in practice across jurisdictions.

I combine legal structuring with a strong commercial understanding, ensuring that contracts are not only legally sound but also aligned with real business execution and growth objectives.

Experience

  • KPMG LAW
    Senior Associcate Legal Managed Services
    June 2023 - June 2024 (1 year)
    I supported public-sector and government-related clients in the legal and procedural assessment of funding and subsidy programs, including high-volume energy and cost relief schemes.
    The work involved reviewing applications under strict regulatory frameworks and ensuring compliance in deadline-driven, high-volume environments.
    I handled applicant communication, including eligibility clarification, documentation requirements, and procedural guidance.
    Additionally, I was responsible for case-level escalation handling and quality assurance to ensure consistent and compliant processing outcomes.
    I also supported internal review processes to identify and assess potential irregularities in applications and worked with internal teams to ensure proper resolution.

  • PERCONEX GmbH
    Legal Project Consultant | Commercial & Contract Support
    January 2021 - January 2023 (2 years)
    I worked on a project-based basis supporting clients across commercial, regulatory, and contractual matters in fast-paced business environments.

    My work included drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial and supplier agreements, often involving multiple stakeholders and recurring collaboration with clients, vendors, and external advisors.

    A key focus of my role was the legal review and adjustment of existing contracts to ensure alignment with operational, commercial, and compliance requirements.
    This also included cross-border and regulatory considerations, particularly in relation to data protection and privacy frameworks in EU and US contexts, as part of broader contractual risk assessments.

    I regularly worked with external stakeholders such as law firms, audit firms, and business partners, including written correspondence and clarification of contractual and procedural questions.

    Assignments were diverse and project-driven, often requiring fast, practical legal solutions in ongoing business and compliance environments.

  • Bahadir & Associates
    Legal Counsel I Tech , SaaS & Commercial Contracts
    April 2019 - Today (7 years and 2 months)
    I advise founders, investors, and growth-stage companies on closing cross-border deals without legal uncertainty blocking execution after signing.

    Most issues I see are not “legal questions” in the abstract. They are live business situations where a deal, investment, or expansion is already in motion.

    The real risks typically emerge after the agreement is signed: contracts that cannot be enforced across jurisdictions, unclear liability allocation, or payment structures that fail in practice.

    My role is to identify and mitigate these risks early, before they become execution blockers or delay closing.

    I work on SaaS agreements, commercial contracts, and cross-border transactions where legal structure directly impacts revenue, investment security, and scalability.

    Clients engage me when they need legal decisions translated into clear, enforceable structures that enable deals to close and operate in reality.
