About

Bahar Yenerer joined Atos Turkey as head of legal and compliance in 2012, after a successful career in major Turkish law firms. When she first started at Atos Turkey, the company did not have an in-house department, so significant effort was dedicated to creating the right mind-set within the business. ‘The first challenge I was faced with was to establish awareness to the business people of the fact that they now have an in-house legal counsel who will work with them closely, understand their needs and support them to achieve the company’s targets’. As a way of demonstrating this relationship Yenerer set about training and informing the business about the group legal policies and processes. She is currently appointed as a secondee in the UK, supporting Atos UK, while still providing legal advice on major strategic projects of Atos Turkey. ‘I believe this shows that my company believes in my ability and trust me to further develop myself while still continuing to providing high level legal support to the Turkish business remotely’.
