The WELS, which has an intensive training programme where young lawyers can expand their networks and visions, also promises social activities in the wonderful atmosphere of Istanbul.

Istanbul is the capital of civilizations, home to many cultures and a city ruled by cats, where you can feel the historical texture in every street. With its cultural richness, unique sea and view, and wide range of social opportunities, WELS Istanbul has the qualities that will fascinate our participants in every sense. A small tip - you will need plenty of coffee :)
