Companies

The old approach of "call the lawyer only after the lawsuit starts" does not really work anymore.

Modern companies usually need legal support while things are happening.

• While building teams.
• While hiring employees.
• While setting up HR systems.
• While moving into e-invoice structures.
• While dealing with KVKK compliance.
• While attending exhibitions.
• While buying software licenses.
• While reporting workplace accidents.
• While growing.

In other words: while living through daily business life.

I prefer solving problems before they become disasters.

Something similar to preventive medicine, honestly.

For years, I worked closely with corporate structures not only as an external legal advisor, but almost as part of the company itself.

Monthly legal consultancy, at least in my understanding, is not simply correcting contracts from distance.

It means joining meetings, visiting workplaces, attending trainings, understanding internal dynamics, helping management during difficult moments, and becoming familiar with how the company actually operates.

The goal is not becoming "the lawyer they call."

The goal is becoming "the lawyer who already understands the system."

I closely follow legal developments, official gazette updates, court decisions, and practical changes affecting company operations.

I regularly work together with HR departments on termination processes, disciplinary systems, bonus structures, internal documentation, and risk management.

I also enjoy meeting employees directly through trainings related to employment law, workplace practices, KVKK, and operational awareness.

Factories, offices, operational meetings, inspections, workplace accidents, crises, exhibitions... wherever the situation requires legal support, I prefer being involved directly instead of observing everything from distance.

And yes, written questions usually receive long answers.

Probably longer than expected sometimes.

I prefer building internal legal systems from outside while protecting them almost like an insider.

Once I start working with a company, the problems are no longer "your problems."

They become problems we solve together.

I genuinely enjoy this area of legal practice. I grew up around commercial law as a second generation lawyer, and over time I realized something very simple:

The healthier the company structure becomes, the more peacefully I work as well.

And perhaps one slightly dangerous professional habit:

I tend to enjoy files that initially look impossible to solve.

Complex operational chaos, difficult negotiations, unclear structures, high pressure situations... strangely enough, those are usually the moments where legal strategy becomes most valuable.

Corporate legal consultancy is not only legal work.

It is also strategic work.

If your company prefers operating with legal awareness integrated into daily decision making instead of reacting after problems grow larger, we will probably work well together.

At the same time, I prefer keeping the consultancy structure limited and manageable rather than growing too quickly and losing quality.

As of April 2026, there is availability for a limited number of additional corporate clients depending on operational needs and workload.
