Prof. Dr. Ersan Sen, Founding Partner
With so many years of experience, Prof. Dr. Ersan Sen explains how the firm is adapting to clients’ changing needs in these challenging times.
What do you see as the main points that differentiate Ersan Sen Law Office from your competitors?
Ersan Sen Law and Consultancy is a multilingual, dynamic law firm that acts with a solution-oriented approach at every stage of the litigation process. We aim to provide legal consultancy services with trust, expertise, and a results-oriented approach. Supported by expert academics, our law firm possesses an ideal working style in public and private law, characterized by attention to detail and thoroughness. We are committed to dealing with the legal problems of those we represent from start to finish, providing the best service through teamwork, being informed about the entire process, and recognizing the importance of preventive legal services. In addition to providing effective and knowledgeable legal services, our primary vision is to keep pace with constantly changing and evolving laws and innovations brought about by life and to prioritize staying informed about developments in the world.
Which practices do you see growing in the next 12 months? What are the drivers behind that?
The constantly changing economic situation worldwide and in our country will increase the frequency of restructuring mechanisms to make companies more profitable or better organized according to their current needs. Due to the heavy workload in state courts and the consequent delayed resolution of cases, filing lawsuits tends to strain parties and prolong the process financially. Therefore, we emphasize that conciliation, mediation, and arbitration are open to development in Turkey.
What's the main change you've made in the firm that will benefit clients?
All legal disputes are comprehensively resolved with academically based consultants and expert lawyers. Our firm, which provides services in many fields with the support of its expert academics, blends theoretical knowledge with practical experience to approach cases and legal disputes from various perspectives. Our firm, equipped with a solid theoretical foundation, informs clients theoretically and practically about legal processes in multiple languages. Our team, which is always accessible and theoretically and practically competent, approaches our clients with great care.
Is technology changing the way you interact with your clients, and the services you can provide them?

We strive to leverage technology for the benefit of our clients across all aspects of life. Essential documents such as case files and action plans are stored in our online systems. Notably, following the increase in online communication post-pandemic, we conduct online meetings with our clients when necessary. Simultaneous meetings with foreign clients are facilitated using cutting-edge technologies, ensuring the most efficient execution of client meetings.

Can you give us a practical example of how you have helped a client to add value to their business?
All disputes regarding consumer law in Turkey of our client, who is a leader in the e-commerce sector in different countries, are resolved meticulously by our law firm. In this context, to protect the economic reputation of our client, the process is often concluded by conciliation and arbitration without resorting to the state court.
