Museum and collection
Why would a law firm found a museum?
Because every right we defend today has reached us through the work of those who wore the robe before us. We founded the Museum of the Legal Profession to preserve the memory of this profession. The collection includes robes, seals, powers of attorney, business cards, photographs, badges and court documents.
Hundreds of pieces, from the Ottoman era to the Republic, document how the profession was practiced, how its members dressed, how they wrote and how they spoke. This archive is a tangible sign of the importance we place on institutional memory and tradition. The pieces shown on this site are only a small part of the collection; the rest is kept in our archive.
