A&O stays true to strategy with Istanbul launch

I do not agree with 'anonymous' and believe this is an amazing opportunity for A & O to widen their horizon and add to their international expertise. The most attractive aspect of leading law firms is the fact that they are international as they give themselves and their clients many opportunities which continue to grow as they expand their field of work. DLA Piper and Clifford Chance have already launched firms in Istanbul therefore there will be a competition and in my view, victory lies with the firm that can adapt and understand the turkish culture and local custom. On that note, I do not disregard what 'anonymous' says completely because it is very important that these details are taken seriously which is why they've sent Seyda Duman. Mr.Huseyin Gok pointed out the famous quote, “the life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience.” Law firms today are illustrating a classic example of how experience is the key. It comes with risks and sometimes firms may fail to reach their ultimate goal. However, avoiding that is what recruiting the best lawyers in the country is all about. 1st Year LLB Law Student, London.
