The earliest known representative of our family’s multi-generational legal tradition is our great-grandfather, Ergirili Tahsin Efendi. After graduating second in his class from Mekteb-i Nüvvâb in Istanbul (the only school in the Ottoman Empire training judges) he served as a judge in Sivrihisar and following the War of Independence, he held judicial positions in Bozcaada, Bodrum and Bursa during the early Republican period.

​

His son, Reşat Türel, served as a prosecutor and judge in various regions of Turkey before practicing law for many years at his office in Sirkeci, Istanbul.

​

The third generation of our family in the legal profession includes our father, Turan Hayati Çetiner (1928–2004), a graduate of Ankara University Faculty of Law. After retiring from his position as Chief Legal Counsel at Türkiye Çimento Sanayi AŞ, he practiced law within the Çetiner Attorney Partnership, founded in 1984 as a law office and later registered as a legal entity under Ankara Bar Association with (03) partnership number. He worked alongside his children, the fourth-generation attorneys Tahsin Ufuk Çetiner and Engin Çetiner.

​​

The fifth generation is represented by Emre Çetiner and his spouse Tuğçe Gizem Bahşi Çetiner. The sixth generation, represented by Doğa Çetiner, is currently completing her final year at Bilkent University Faculty of Law.

Within Çetiner Attorney Partnership, experienced attorneys provide legal services, supported by skilled administrative, financial, and clerical staff. Additionally, collaboration with qualified lawyers across various regions of Turkey ensures that our clients receive effective, transparent, and reliable legal representation.
