Chicago,IL

Summary

With 8 years of extensive experience as an attorney in Turkey, I have developed expertise in Employment Law, Contract Law, Family Law, and Enforcement & Bankruptcy Law. Throughout my career, I have successfully handled complex legal matters, including litigation management, contract drafting and negotiation, legal consultancy, and mediation.

After relocating to the United States, I transitioned into a paralegal role, leveraging my robust legal foundation and analytical skills while adapting to the American legal system. Known for my solution-oriented approach, attention to detail, and ability to navigate multifaceted legal challenges, I am dedicated to contributing to the success of legal teams and providing exceptional support to clients.
