At 41 years old, Rahman Turgut represents a new generation of business and criminal lawyers deeply rooted in the economic and social realities of companies. Born in Turkey and arriving in France at a young age, he completed his entire education in France before pursuing an impressive academic path: an MBA in tax strategy and management, a Master 2 in business litigation at Panthéon-Sorbonne, and admission to the CRFPA. But what sets Rahman Turgut apart is his vision of the profession.

“My main commitment is to help make justice less unjust.”
This sentence summarizes the ethic that guides his daily work. For over ten years, Rahman Turgut has defended business leaders facing collective proceedings, accused of management faults or financial offenses. He believes that justice can quickly become overwhelming for leaders overwhelmed by economic logics they no longer control.

In a context where judicial liquidations are multiplying in France, particularly among VSEs-SMEs since the Covid crisis, Rahman Turgut warns about the human and personal consequences for entrepreneurs.

“Today, all business leaders can be brought to justice, criminally or civilly, sometimes for a simple act of management deemed ‘abnormal’. A mistake can lead to personal bankruptcy, or even a ban from managing for five years. It’s extremely heavy.”

Facing judges and judicial representatives, he advocates for proportionate penalties, taking into account the context and good faith of the leaders. He describes, with great humility, his role as a tightrope walker between the rigor of the law and the distress of his clients.
His field of action extends beyond business law. As a criminal lawyer, Rahman Turgut recently handled a complex case involving the death of a worker on a construction site. The company, failing on several fronts (lack of employee training, failure to declare), risked severe sanctions. He obtained a symbolic fine of 4,000 € for his client, avoiding any prison sentence, even suspended.

“It’s one of my most beautiful recent victories. I knew the company had made mistakes, but I fought to ensure the sanction was not destructive.”
In a context where the criminal liability of employers is increasingly scrutinized, particularly in terms of safety and compliance with labor law, his human and pragmatic approach makes perfect sense.

In a judicial world often perceived as opaque, Rahman Turgut brings a clear and factual voice, without renouncing principles. An advocate for a more just and humane law, he embodies this generation of lawyers who reject cynicism to promote another way of pleading. As judicial cases involving companies, from the largest to the smallest, multiply in France, his voice resonates as an essential reminder: behind every case, there are lives, mistakes, but also a possibility for justice.
