Vice President
Bench Walk Advisors
"I’m proud to be part of the organising committee for Istanbul Arbitration Days, bringing together outstanding speakers and a brilliant audience of lawyers, in-house counsel, and C-level executives. With the Bosporus as our backdrop, it’s a fantastic opportunity to share ideas and make connections in a city that has stood at the crossroads of global commerce and culture for centuries."
