About

Aslı Irmak Acar Kurşun has experienced rapid progression over the course of her career. Only four years after the start of her professional career she became the first in-house counsel in LG Electronics Turkey. Previously she was an associate in Mehmet Gun & Partners, one of the largest law firms in Turkey. With multiple roles and responsibilities as the only in-house lawyer at the time, Acar Kurşun’s challenge was not only the establishment of the legal department, but also the creation of legal awareness across the sales and marketing teams. For this challenge, training and good communication were key to her success. ‘Today there is a very successful legal team in LG Turkey, recognised by everyone in the company. Each employee now knows the importance of the law, legal processes and effects of infringements. We achieved a considerably high reduction on legal risks and created legal awareness’. For Acar Kurşun professionalism towards the company is not the only aim, ‘also what you leave to your successor is very important’ she adds. She has introduced an online database that feeds all documentation into the company system. ‘One day in the future, I may not be in the company, but my successor can reach the database and easily see the full picture with the history’ she comments.
