Gökçe Certified at AI-Integrated Tier Under Raydorf AI Maturity Standard

May 18, 2026 – Istanbul, Turkey

Gökçe Attorney Partnership is proud to announce that we have been certified at the AI-Integrated tier under the Raydorf AI Maturity Standard, following a nine-week independent assessment completed in May 2026.

The certification places Gökçe at the third of the Standard’s five cumulative tiers and makes the firm the first law firm in the Turkish legal market to achieve certification at this level.

Developed by the Raydorf Institute, the Raydorf AI Maturity Standard is a published and independently assessed methodology designed to evaluate how organisations adopt, govern, and deploy artificial intelligence. The Standard is open, versioned, and reviewed annually by the Standards Council, with certifications recorded in a public registry.

The AI-Integrated certification reflects the way Gökçe operates across multiple dimensions of its practice, including how matters are scoped, how knowledge is transferred and managed internally, and how work processes and outcomes are measured. Under the Standard’s methodology, certification is determined by the floor achieved across seven assessed dimensions.


Alongside the certification, Gökçe has also been issued the Raydorf EU AI Act Readiness Attestation with the status of Aligned. The Attestation evaluates deployer-side organisational practices required under the EU AI Act for organisations using AI systems.

The assessment identified several areas of operational readiness, including:

  • risk classification of the firm’s AI use cases under the EU AI Act framework;
  • implementation of a documented role-based AI literacy programme operational since 2024;
  • documentation processes supporting deployer obligations, including AI system inventories, supplier attestations, and data protection impact assessments where required;
  • operational procedures for reporting serious incidents to the appropriate authorities.

The Attestation is distinct from conformity assessment obligations applicable to AI providers and does not constitute CE marking or Notified Body certification under the EU AI Act.

The certification is valid for one year and remains subject to the Institute’s surveillance procedures. As part of its governance framework, the Raydorf Institute maintains strict independence between certification and advisory services.

This certification reflects not only technology adoption, but also the firm’s broader operational and strategic approach to legal services in an evolving market environment. - Görkem Gökçe said.

The firm also expresses its gratitude to its clients for their continued trust and to its team members whose contribution made the achievement possible.
