01 / Who we are

Connecting, supporting, and representing a community.

TANBA is a non-profit, non-partisan professional association founded to unite Turkish American legal professionals nationwide. We are attorneys in solo practice and at large firms, judges, in-house counsel, academics, and students — in every region of the country.

We exist to mentor the next generation of Turkish American lawyers, to open doors that were never obvious to the first generation, and to make sure the Turkish American community can find competent counsel when it needs one.
