Mr. Gökhan Cindemir

Phd Candidate , Senior Partner

After completing high school in Turkey, he participated in the AFS intercultural exchange program and completed his secondary education in Brussels, the capital of the European Union. This international experience not only sparked his interest in European Union law but also broadened his academic and professional perspective in various fields of law. Upon returning to Turkey, he earned his law degree from Marmara University, Faculty of Law. During his studies, he represented Marmara University in the prestigious Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. Following his admission to the Istanbul Bar Association, he began his legal career at Cindemir Law Office, which was established by his partner and brother, Hakan Cindemir. Although the official founding date of the law office is from the Republican era, this date actually symbolizes the continuation of a much older family legal tradition that dates back to 1892. This legal heritage was initiated by Hafız Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi, a respected figure in the Ottoman judiciary who served as a judge in various Ottoman provinces and, in his final years, as the governor (mutasarrıf) of Debre-i Bala (modern-day Macedonia and Albania). This legacy has evolved over generations to encompass both local and international law. Av. Gökhan Cindemir holds an LL.M. degree in European and Comparative Law from Ghent University in Belgium. His master’s thesis focused on the Freedom of Establishment under the Ankara Agreement. He also completed his military service as a Lieutenant in the Legal Affairs Department at the Central Command Headquarters in Ankara. He is currently pursuing a PhD in European Union and International Trade Law at Istanbul Commercial University, with his dissertation focusing on the European Union’s Regulation of Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA). His areas of expertise include International Private Law, European Law, Crypto Asset Law, Personal Injury and Tort Law, Family Law, Criminal Law, Business Law, Real Estate Law, and Foreigners’ Law. He is fluent in English and proficient in Dutch, French, and Russian at an intermediate level. Cindemir is also the author of the book Introduction to International Advocacy, which can be accessed via this link: https://www.amazon.de/Yeni-Ba%C5%9Flayanlar-i%C3%A7in-Uluslararas%C4%B1-Avukatl%C4%B1k/dp/B098MWPFD7.
