About

The legal affairs and compliance department of N11.com, an online shopping platform owned by Doğuş Group and South Korean-based SK Planet, consists of five people and is headed by Dilek Akdaş. The website has already become one of the leading e-commerce platforms in Turkey. N11 has relied on its legal team to meet the requirements of e-commerce law, which entered into force in 2015, and the Personal Data Protection Law, which entered into force in 2016. Commenting on the team’s skills, one source noted that the ‘legal practices endorsed by the legal affairs and compliance departments have been deemed best practice and adopted by other web-sites’. Given the company’s outstanding success since it was formed in 2013 and its reputation for legally-sound approaches to operating under new regulations, the Turkish regulatory authorities have asked Dilek Akdaş to share her operational experience to shape legislation. The department has also made valuable contributions by assisting cyber-crimes authorities in relation to credit card fraud.
