  • Learning how to operate successfully in jurisdictions with different legal frameworks (Common Law and Civil Code).
  • Examples of different approaches needed when working on international matters – and cross-jurisdictional issues ranging from arbitration to enforcement of judgements.
  • His reflections on how he developed his international network and practice as a Turkish lawyer.
  • Skills for the future which young lawyers can develop to maximise their career opportunities internationally.
