Dr. Bülent Gökdemir Joins CoPartners as Partner

CoPartners is pleased to announce that Dr. Bülent Gökdemir has joined CoPartners as a Partner, effective February 2026.

Following a highly successful period of collaboration as Of Counsel / Chief Economist, during which his strategic insight, strong alignment with the team, and the consistently positive feedback from clients stood out, CoPartners and Dr. Gökdemir mutually decided to elevate their collaboration to the partnership level.

Dr. Gökdemir is widely recognized as one of Türkiye’s leading authorities at the intersection of competition economics and regulation, bringing deep public-policy insight and long-standing credibility among institutions, policymakers, and market actors. His perspective has proven particularly valuable in matters where regulatory design, enforcement priorities, and commercial strategy closely intersect.

His joining the Firm as a Partner significantly strengthens CoPartners’ ability to advise clients on high-stakes competition and regulatory matters, particularly in digital markets, e-commerce, and emerging AI-related regulatory frameworks, where policy choices and enforcement trends increasingly shape business outcomes.

Commenting on this development, the CoPartners partnership stated:

“Our collaboration with Bülent during his time as Of Counsel clearly demonstrated both his strategic depth and his close alignment with our Firm’s approach. Moving forward together as partners was a natural and timely step. We believe this will further enhance our ability to support clients operating in complex and rapidly evolving regulatory environments.”

With this step, CoPartners further reinforces its position as a leading competition and regulatory boutique, with a strong focus on digital markets, innovation-driven sectors, and forward-looking regulatory advice.

CoPartners looks forward to continuing its growth journey with Dr. Gökdemir as part of the partnership.
