Başak Gümüşdağ began her legal career with strong steps in Italy, at Università Degli Studi di Milano – La Statale. This educational journey, shaped by the European legal tradition, provided her not only with technical knowledge but also with a visionary perspective, the ability to compare different legal systems, and a multifaceted legal reflex.
By building bridges between various legal systems, Başak has already established herself as a young legal professional with an international outlook. Driven by a profound interest in criminal law, she is rapidly advancing toward specialization in this field. Her meticulous attention to matters such as investigation and prosecution processes, freedom of expression, and the right to a fair trial—each directly impacting fundamental human rights and freedoms—reflects her approach to criminal law not merely as a technical area, but one deeply grounded in ethical considerations. Staying up to date with both traditional criminal law practices and emerging crime types in the digital world, Başak remains firmly committed to the power of defense and the mission of law to safeguard human dignity.
However, for her, law is not limited to a single field—it is a constantly evolving, living system. With an insatiable curiosity and a passion for learning, she continues to support her colleagues at ARC Law Firm across multiple disciplines.
