About

Following her graduation from the Faculty of Law at Marmara University in 2005, Miraç Ucankale Yuce went on to establish herself as one of Turkey’s leading legal professionals, initially impressing in private practice at Gur Law Firm before moving in-house, a decision that has helped develop her skills as a lawyer: ‘Since in-house counsel are always in the middle of action, I believe that our work is more exciting and sophisticated’, she comments. In her current role at ALJ Holdings she provides full legal support to over 10 subsidiary companies that engage in sectors ranging from automotives (as distributor for Toyota and Lexus cars), finance, insurance, construction and pre-owned vehicles. In nearly three years at ALJ, Ucankale has improved the efficiency of the legal function with a resulting reduction in spend on external counsel. Having created close relationships across ALJ’s affiliates, Ucankale has consistently received positive feedback from her internal colleagues for her ongoing support of the business.
