Linklaters advises QIA on the acquisition of a minority stake in D.ream International

Linklaters has advised Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, on the acquisition of c. 20% interest in the D.ream International global fine dining group, whose brands include the well-known Nusr-et (founded by Salt Bae) and Zuma. The minority stake was acquired from parent company Doğuş Group, one of Turkey’s largest conglomerates.

Linklaters’ cross-practice and cross-jurisdictional team was led by Warsaw partner, Daniel Cousens alongside counsel, Christopher Quinn, with support from associate, Michal Wolangiewicz. The team worked alongside Paksoy, who supported on local law matters in Turkey.

The transaction is one of a number of recent QIA investments in Turkey supported by Linklaters’ Warsaw Regional M&A Team. The firm’s Warsaw team members regularly advise on English law-governed M&A and energy & infrastructure matters in Turkey and across the wider region.
