Bengisu Uğraş

Aksan is an independent full-service law firm based in Istanbul, Turkey. Since 1984, the firm has been a trusted advisor to countless successful businesses both for navigating through disputes and chieving growth. It is currently one of the largest firms in Turkey both in terms of number of professionals and clients. Our 80+ people team and a wide network of respectable group of academics and experts, cater for all these fields by dedicated specialist nuclear teams. The firm not only has a strong multinational presence in the region (MENA, CIS and CEE) through long-standing relationships with local reputable firms, but also established direct initiatives in Silicon Valley, New York, London, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Japan to supply for the significant client demand. As a result, we are particularly well-placed to assist our foreign and local clients working within Turkey’s dramatically new environment. Almost every day we see evidence that others are aware or becoming aware of our competitive advantage. Aksan Law Firm is organized into separate legal departments. These include our fast growing Corporate and M&A, Privatization, Dispute Resolution and Intellectual Property Departments. In addition are our well-established and highly-regarded Enforcement and Bankruptcy Department and Labor Law Department. Aksan Consulting, an affiliate, provides clients with a wider-range of commercial assistance, both in Turkey and elsewhere in the region, helping those interested in expanding their operations into the region's increasingly complex economic, legal and political environment.
