We built the firm we couldn't find: senior judgment, small rooms, and no distance between you and the person who argues your case.

Aslan & Grey was founded in Istanbul in 2012 by two lawyers leaving the London offices of global firms. The premise was simple — the matters flowing between Europe and Asia deserved counsel fluent in both directions: common law and civil law, boardroom and courtroom, East and West.

Today the firm remains deliberately small. Twelve lawyers, two offices, one standard. Every engagement is led by a partner from the first call to the final award — because judgment is the product, and judgment doesn't delegate.
