World Trademark Review writes:
“An undeniable success on the Turkish market”, Gün + Partners is a go-to for creative solutions to thorny enforcement problems. “The team is highly responsive, understands clients’ needs and offers a reliable, diligent and thorough service.” It practises at the vanguard of trademark law, whether designing innovative strategies, tackling novel issues associated with new technologies or contributing to the development of Turkish IP practice more generally. Epitomising all of this is Mehmet Gün, who is lauded by one peer as “an esteemed figure that we all aspire to be a bit more like”. The name partner has spent over 30 years elevating both the IP conversation in Turkey and the firm’s local and international profile. “Responsive, concise, authoritative and bold in his approach”, practice co-chair Uğur Aktekin is “a safe pair of hands in litigation”: “Clients are confident that his suggestions are always the best legal and strategic courses of action, and that any plans will be executed efficiently.” Running the anti-counterfeiting and investigations division, Barış Kalaycı provides an “excellent-quality”, “cost-effective” service, underpinned by “a thorough understanding of business needs”. Operating in a similar vein, Zeynep Seda Alhas is “a wonderful advocate and clear communicator. She anticipates the next steps and always provides the best recommendations for further action. You can easily pick up the phone and ask her questions; plus she is great to chat to as well”. “Client-oriented, responsive and flexible”, Hande Hançar Çeli̇k is a fan favourite for the outcomes she achieves in complex infringement scenarios. Qualified as both a lawyer and a trademark attorney, Mutlu Yıldırım Köse impresses for her “reliability, efficiency and pragmatism”; while Ankara-based Güldeniz Doğan Alkan is right at the heart of the action and acquits herself with distinction in opposition proceedings. Overseeing a thriving prosecution practice is Pınar Arıkan: “Her advice is always super-clear and delivered quickly; we never have to go back and forth to ask for clarification or additional questions, which is super-helpful.”
