Criminal Law
One of YılmazÜlker’s defining strengths is its deep expertise in Criminal Law, particularly its ability to handle matters requiring a combination of corporate and criminal law expertise. This unique capability sets YılmazÜlker apart from other major law firms.
Our experienced disputes team offers comprehensive representation at every stage of criminal proceedings, from the initiation of investigations to the final verdict. In addition to litigation, we provide strategic advisory services to help clients mitigate criminal exposure and proactively address risks.
Our strength in this practice area stems from the extensive experience of one of our founding members, a former leading criminal judge and criminal defense lawyer with over 30 years of practice before co-founding YılmazÜlker.
Our criminal law team has represented global corporations, domestic businesses, and prominent individuals in some of Türkiye’s most significant cases involving complex business, financial, and economic crimes. These include aggravated fraud, cybercrimes, white-collar crimes, money laundering, foreign investment-related offenses, unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets, criminal defamation, and violations of legal regulations carrying criminal liability.

YılmazÜlker has a leading white-collar criminal and regulatory practice. We represent hight-net worth individuals, local and multinational corporations, as well as their boards of directors and senior executives, in a broad range of complex and high-profile white-collar criminal and regulatory disputes. Our litigators typically handle tax evasion, insider trading, securities fraud, accounting fraud, anti-money laundering, export control and sanctions violations.
