Cihat Kaya | Turkish Lawyer Germany · Cross-Border Legal

Av. Cihat Kaya

Founding Attorney – International Trade and Information Technology Lawyer
Education

Dokuz Eylül University - Faculty of Law, Bachelor's Degree

Foreign Languages

English, German and Turkish

Curriculum Vitae

Cross-border Law in Turkey, the Netherlands, and Germany

Cihat Kaya is the founding attorney of İzmir-based CEKA Legal & Consulting and managing partner of Amsterdam-based NGA Consultancy. At 25, he founded his independent firm with a deliberate refusal to be confined to a single market or jurisdiction. By 30, he had built a cross-border legal structure managing simultaneous proceedings across Turkey, the Netherlands, and Germany.

The legal network established along the Amsterdam–Hamburg–Frankfurt axis has produced concrete outcomes: residence permits secured in the Netherlands and complex legal proceedings successfully halted in Germany. This structure is further strengthened by the firm's Director of European Operations — a dual Turkish-German national with an institutional background in the German corporate world, native in both languages — providing the network with genuine local reflexes in the German market.

Proactive Defense in Criminal Cases

Widely recognized for his proactive criminal defense architecture, Cihat Kaya has built a strong track record in high-profile acquittals and the prevention of pre-trial detention. Most notable: a land registry dispute with a 16-year history and 29 prior hearings, resolved in just two sessions after he took over — through a power-of-attorney challenge that produced a verdict in exact alignment with his brief.

Real Estate and Inheritance Law

In real estate and inheritance law, he secured the return of a property valued at 8 million TL in Narlıdere through a sham transaction lawsuit, and has consistently prevailed in technically complex asset concealment and unsubstantiated inheritance claim cases. His capacity to pursue civil and criminal tracks simultaneously in fraud-related disputes provides clients with comprehensive, single-source protection.

Technology Integration and Cybercrime

Integrating deep technological command with legal practice, Cihat Kaya has developed a specialization in cybercrime law, managing case workflows through proprietary automation infrastructure and AI-assisted analysis tools. Fluent in English and operationally proficient in German, he delivers measurable, transparent, and outcome-driven representation to corporations, investors, and internationally mobile individuals.
