What Kilic Cayli & Partners does

Kılıç Çaylı & Partners is a Turkish law firm (avukatlık ortaklığı) headquartered in Ankara, founded in 2009. The firm provides preventive legal advisory and litigation management services to local, foreign, and multinational companies across a portfolio of interconnected practice areas: public procurement law (Kamu İhale Hukuku), competition law (Rekabet Hukuku), corporate law and governance, start-up and technology law, labor law, data protection (KVKK), and medical device and health law. Its primary client segments are government contractors and public sector entities, corporate and multinational companies, and start-ups and technology ventures, with employer advisory as a secondary segment.

The firm operates on a professional services revenue model, generating fees through retainer agreements, project-based mandates, and litigation representation before trial courts, administrative bodies, regulatory agencies, and high courts throughout Turkey. It holds four ISO certifications covering quality (9001:2015), information security (27001:2013), occupational health and safety (45001:2018), and environmental management (14001:2015), and is recognized by The Legal 500. Distribution is direct, driven by partner-led client engagement, professional referrals, and a content-marketing engine comprising a regularly updated Turkish-language blog, Mondaq publications, authored legal reference books, and active LinkedIn and X (Twitter) accounts.

Operationally, the firm is small (11–50 employees per firmographic data) and operates a single office in Ankara, with no disclosed international offices, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or institutional investment. Its core technology stack consists of standard legal practice management and document management systems rather than proprietary platforms, and it shows no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Strategic emphasis appears to be on deepening regulatory specialization, extending thought leadership, and incrementally broadening practice areas into technology, healthcare, and data protection rather than on scaling headcount or geographic footprint.
