We have a close relationship and communication flow with the associates, and we feel confident to ask advice in any different situation which comes up with employees.

- ‘I would like to mention Mr. Serhan Akyıldırım as our main contact on employment law. He is a senior associate, mature and seasoned professional. He is available for all our inquires, and he provides perspectives from different angles, he provides supreme court decisions on similar cases to support our decision-making.’
- ‘Ürey Hukuk distinguishes itself in Turkey by combining deep employer-focused expertise in employment and, in particular, collective labor law with the added value of an external barrister model. Senior associate Serhan Akyıldırım provides detailed legal analysis and strategic guidance, ensuring that every aspect of case preparation is meticulously planned. Its hybrid approach blends the discipline of English-style advocacy with the depth of Turkish employment law practice, offering clients a powerful and versatile defence while remaining more cost-efficient than traditional large-firm structures. The model delivers clear advantages in both union disputes and individual employment litigation. Supporting this structure are further innovations such as flexible fee arrangements based on hourly or case-specific barrister representation, secure shared-document platforms and remote hearing preparation for seamless coordination, a female-lawyer ratio exceeding sixty percent, and mentoring and shadowing programs that give junior lawyers valuable courtroom experience.’
- ‘Working with the Ürey Hukuk team offers a unique combination of deep expertise and a client-focused approach. Beyza Büyükağaçcı stands out for her proficiency in union-related matters, managing not only collective bargaining negotiations but also litigation and hearings with exceptional skill. Her advocacy effectively influences judges, creating tangible advantages for clients. What sets her apart from competitors is her strategic and courageous approach.'
