AKT LAW

Since our inception in 2000, AKT Law has been committed to promoting diversity as a core value of our firm, across all aspects of our business. We have successfully incorporated this vision throughout our firm, and it remains a fundamental principal, which continues to drive our growth into our third decade as a leading legal services provider in Istanbul, Turkey.

AKT Law defines Diversity in a unique manner:

Diversity is an open and accepting environment, where all individuals, groups, and ideas are welcome. Discrimination, on any level, is not tolerated.

Our multi-faceted approach to executing this strategy involves our internal operations; our legal practice of Law; and our external relationships with our communities on a local, regional, and global scale.

Diversity offers tangible and intangible benefits that demonstrate its value far beyond any investment in time or money. Being inclusive generates ideas and new perspectives that are simply lacking in a homogenous environment. Our commitment to diversity has provided our firm with the broad vision to recognize opportunities, for our clients and ourselves, and created the flexibility within our team to take advantage of these moments with nimble and expert agility.

As a member of the Warwick Legal Network, AKT Law is a partner among a group of 49 independent law firms operating on six continents. Recognizing the vast differences among people, legal issues, and local custom on a global scale, we have emphasized our desire to eliminate discrimination and celebrate diversity across the world.

AKT Law is a Special Agent of the Marshall Islands Registry. Through our work in this area, we have created development, employment, and benefits for a unique culture and underrepresented minority group. While simultaneously providing our clients with exceptional service, these accomplishments offer proof that our moral and business principals are aligned, and that both can be successful without sacrifice.

On a regular basis, AKT Law assumes pro-bono responsibilities for clients who cannot otherwise access suitable legal services. Our dedication to pro-bono work is an ongoing effort; by firm policy, we allocate a minimum of 5% of our annual billable hours to pro-bono activities. It is our belief that everyone should have equal access to the law, regardless of their ability to pay for these services.

Our hiring and employment policies are blind to all aspects of an individual’s background. Our extraordinarily high standards are focused solely on merit and ability, and willingness to put forth the effort necessary to accommodate our clients’ wishes. The result, after implementing these practices over two decades, is a team that is not only diverse, but also comprised of experts across virtually all aspects of the legal spectrum.

The next decade promises exciting and challenging opportunities for AKT Law, as the global nature of business becomes even more complex and legal issues become interconnected across legal boundaries. Our commitment to diversity will continue to guide our efforts to provide the legal services our clients deserve and expect from our team.
