About Guvenc
Guvenc Acarkan is a lawyer whose practice crosses borders and legal systems. He is admitted to practice in Turkey, New York, Ireland, England and Wales, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and before the United States Courts of Appeals for the 2nd and 3rd Circuits. Those admissions shape the work he takes on and the clients he advises.
He completed formal legal training that prepared him to work in both civil and common-law settings. That academic foundation allowed him to sit for bar exams and seek admission across multiple jurisdictions. He built early practical experience by handling matters that required coordination between offices in different countries and between state and federal courts in the United States.
Over the years his career has included work on transnational litigation, appeals and arbitration. He has appeared in federal appellate matters in the 2nd and 3rd Circuits and worked on cases filed in the District of Columbia and New Jersey. In Europe he has engaged with the procedural and regulatory differences that come from admissions in Ireland and England and Wales, and he maintains professional standing in Turkey as well.
His day-to-day practice involves advising on disputes that span legal systems and regulatory regimes. He handles commercial litigation, international arbitration and regulatory issues arising from cross-border business. He regularly prepares pleadings and appellate briefs, negotiates settlements between parties in different countries, and advises clients on strategic choices when cases touch multiple forums. He represents both corporate clients and individuals in matters that require synchronized filings and coordinated legal strategies.
He founded and now leads Acarkan Law, operating from multiple offices. The firm serves clients whose matters require counsel admitted in several jurisdictions. He oversees teams that manage jurisdictional questions, evidence gathering across borders, and parallel proceedings. He also works directly on complex cases that involve appellate work, international enforcement of judgments and strategic dispute resolution.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in litigation and pragmatic in transactional settings. He combines courtroom experience in U.S. federal courts with familiarity with European procedures and regulatory frameworks. He continues to take cases that require admissions across both civil and common-law systems. He concentrates on cross-border litigation and transactional matters, advising clients on international regulatory and commercial disputes.
