Successful Turkey Business: Turkey-expert Dr Gökçe Uzar Schüller is appointed Local Partner

Dr Gökçe Uzar Schüller, a Turkish lawyer at GvW’s Munich and Istanbul offices, was appointed local partner with effect from 1 January 2015.

Dr Uzar Schüller has longstanding experience in advising companies on their market entry and their business in Turkey, as well as Turkish investors on their international activities.

After her doctorate at the University Regensburg, the Turkish lawyer (Avukat) worked in a law boutique in Stuttgart for a couple of years which is specialized in the Turkey business. Since she joined GvW in August 2012, Dr Uzar Schüller has been taking care of all the firm’s clients with reference to Turkey. The head of the Turkey Desk is an expert for the entire Turkish commercial and contracts law and mainly deals with distribution and commercial law disputes (including arbitration proceedings), as well as the establishment of subsidiaries, joint ventures and representative offices in Turkey.

With the appointment as Local Partner, the firm acknowledges the successful commitment of the 36-year old from Ankara in the Turkey business. “We congratulate Dr Gökçe Uzar Schüller on her appointment as Local Partner and look forward to successfully expanding our Turkey-related activities in the context of our international strategy”, commented Dr Robert Theissen and Christof Kleinmann, the firm’s managing partners.

During her time at GvW, Dr Uzar Schüller also established the firm’s Istanbul office. With Gülcan Tutkun Berk, LL.M., an experienced commercial lawyer could be hired as the head of the Istanbul office. Tutkun Berk offers advice on all issues of Turkish commercial law and is particularly specialized in litigation in Turkey.
