In 2013, Can was recognised as one of ten “Stars” practising at the Commercial Bar by Legal Week Magazine where he was identified as possibly one of “the Bar’s true polymaths…able to advocate in a wide variety of legal areas, with seemingly effortless fluency”.

In his arbitral practice, Can is regularly instructed to act in commercial disputes under the LCIA, ICC, LMAA, and CIArb Rules, as well as in ad-hoc arbitrations under the UNCITRAL Rules. A rapidly-developing area of his practice is investment treaty arbitration, where Can acts for investors in claims against states brought pursuant to the ICSID Rules and the Additional Facility Rules.

Since 2016, Can has held the post of Visiting Professor of Investment Law and Arbitration at Koç University Law School in Istanbul, Turkey. He is also a guest lecturer on investment and commercial arbitration at Harvard Law School and Columbia University (where he is a Global Freedom of Expression Expert).
