Experience in Law, Determination in Solutions

In the Turkish legal system, retaining a lawyer is not mandatory for most cases; individuals may represent themselves. However, legal representation is required in serious criminal cases and certain civil proceedings. Even where optional, professional representation ensures correct procedural filings, proper presentation of evidence and adherence to deadlines.

Our office provides legal consultancy and litigation services in criminal law, family law, labour law, commercial and corporate law, contract law, administrative and tax law, enforcement and insolvency law, intellectual property law, and GDPR/IT law.

Under Turkish law, mediation is a pre-condition for certain disputes before a lawsuit may be filed. Labour disputes — such as severance, notice pay and reinstatement — and a significant portion of commercial disputes fall within mandatory mediation. Cases filed without first applying to a mediator may be dismissed on procedural grounds.

Duration varies depending on the type of dispute, court workload and the parties' conduct. In Turkey, labour and family cases average 1–2 years, commercial disputes 1–3 years, and criminal cases 1–4 years depending on complexity. Timelines may extend further if appeals to the Regional Court or the Court of Cassation are pursued.
