Who we are
Güvenç Acarkan holds a JD degree from Rutgers University and a Bachelor of Law degree from Galatasaray University in Turkey. He also earned an MBA from Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville, Georgia, and a BA from Koç University. His academic path began at the American Collegiate Institute in İzmir, where he developed the intellectual discipline and global outlook that would later guide his multidisciplinary career.
He began his professional journey in New York City’s financial district, working for major national corporations and concentrating on quantitative analysis, financial modeling, and complex transactional assessments. This early immersion in high-level finance provided him with a rigorous analytical foundation and a strategic approach to problem-solving—skills that ultimately shaped the way he practices law.
As he advanced academically, he continued refining his professional trajectory by studying law while simultaneously working full-time in finance. This dual-track path allowed him to blend financial expertise with legal reasoning, creating a unique framework for evaluating risk, structuring transactions, and understanding the commercial realities that clients face. As he expanded his admissions into additional jurisdictions, his career carried him abroad, first to Turkey and later to England, where he practiced law and gained a deeper appreciation for international legal systems, cross-border disputes, and comparative legal frameworks.
In 2023, after years of cultivating experience across multiple countries and industries, Güvenç Acarkan made the pivotal decision to establish his own law firm in Jersey City, New Jersey. This step represented the natural culmination of his professional evolution—a moment where his background in New York finance, his international legal practice, and his multidisciplinary education converged seamlessly. Driven by a commitment to delivering sophisticated, globally informed, and client-centered legal solutions, he founded a practice that reflects his strategic insight, his international perspective, and his dedication to providing comprehensive and elevated legal representation.
Güvenç Acarkan’s practice focuses on family law, commercial litigation, estate and tax planning, and business immigration. He handles divorce, custody, and related family matters with both strategic insight and sensitivity, and he draws on his analytical background to manage complex commercial disputes with efficiency. In estate and tax planning, he helps clients protect assets and minimize tax exposure, and he also advises businesses and professionals on immigration matters involving work authorization, investor visas, and cross-border mobility.
