Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘What makes this firm special is that they really understand our technical work and the crypto world. They don’t just explain the law, they show us clearly what we need to do in practice. I think potential clients would want to know that the team adapts very quickly to new regulations and follows the industry closely. Compared to other firms, their difference is that they are always accessible, they don’t leave us alone in the process, and they handle things in a very transparent way. Their time reporting also helps us a lot, since we don’t need to be involved at every single step. Being open to technology and collaboration also makes them truly innovative.’
• ‘For us, what really stands out is that the people we worked with have both strong technical knowledge and a very practical approach. We worked most closely with Çağdaş Vardar; he has deep expertise in the regulations and explains even complex issues in a very clear and guiding way, which gave us real confidence in our decisions. We also worked with İsmail Mert Şanlı and Melih Kara, who were both very responsive, approachable, and made the process much easier with their quick feedback. What makes the team different is that they don’t just explain the law, they really understand our business and provide solutions tailored to us. That mix of knowledge, practicality, and reliability is what we value the most.’
• ‘The practice stands out as one of the most professional and comprehensive firms I have worked with. What makes it unique is its ability to approach matters end-to-end, considering not only the legal aspects but also the broader strategic and human dimensions. A key strength of the team lies in its effective use of technology. For example, data room processes are managed with great professionalism—executed thoroughly and without unnecessary repetitions or back-and-forth, ensuring that time loss is kept to an absolute minimum. This efficiency significantly enhances the client experience. Beyond technical expertise, the team demonstrates a rare ability to address the psychological and interpersonal aspects of complex matters. This creates an environment where clients feel fully supported, both legally and strategically. Compared to other firms, this practice distinguishes itself by combining deep legal knowledge with practical innovation in technology and a client-centered mindset. The seamless integration of these elements results in an exceptionally smooth process and consistent delivery of high-quality outcomes.’
• ‘Among the individuals I have worked with, İsmail Mert Şanlı clearly stands out. He combines strong legal expertise with excellent communication skills, positioning him at a very high level in his field. What differentiates him is not only his depth of knowledge, but also his ability to lead his team with remarkable effectiveness. The way he manages and coordinates the associates under his supervision ensures that the process runs smoothly and efficiently, minimizing challenges for the client. Working with Mr. Şanlı has made the entire experience highly constructive and seamless. His leadership and professionalism provide a level of assurance that is rare to find, and I can confidently say that we would gladly work with him again in future engagements.’
• ‘The team is well organized and very constructive in their jobs. They are always online for the cases and their connections with the Universities and also presence in international organizations keep them up to date, and they have always a good network to solve different and complicated problems with the involvement of different people and from different angles.’
• ‘Both Mert and Çağdaş are very dedicated to their job and very good at building relations with their clients. They always chase the problem and try to solve it from the essence of the trouble or subject that guidance is required.’
