Principle
Pacta Sunt Servanda
(Sanctity of Contracts)
We act for foreign individuals and international legal entities with investments or established personal ties in Turkey, providing comprehensive legal support across a wide range of matters.
Working within the framework of Turkish legislation, our approach is centred on safeguarding our clients' legal and financial interests while ensuring that all procedures are handled properly and in accordance with the relevant regulations.
Our team advises foreign clients at every stage of real estate purchase, sale and transfer processes in Turkey. This includes carrying out legal due diligence, reviewing title deed records, preparing and reviewing contracts, representing clients before Land Registry Offices and relevant administrative authorities, and overseeing post-transaction formalities.
We assist in inheritance and succession matters involving foreign nationals, including the obtaining of inheritance certificates, identification of estate assets, asset investigations, valuation processes and inheritance disputes with international elements. All procedures are followed before notaries and courts in accordance with the applicable legislation.
Legal review and due diligence are undertaken for both individual and corporate clients. Real estate assets, companies, partnership structures, contractual obligations, existing risks and potential legal liabilities are carefully assessed, providing clients with a clear legal framework to support informed decision-making.
We assist with residence permit applications and renewals, as well as applications for Turkish citizenship. Our work covers preparation of the required documentation, handling procedures before the relevant authorities and monitoring the progress of each application.
We represent foreign clients in family law matters, including divorce proceedings, custody, maintenance and related issues. Where legally permissible, we also handle the recognition and enforcement of foreign court judgments in Turkey. All such matters are approached with discretion, sensitivity and respect for confidentiality.
We assist with the preparation and execution of powers of attorney for use in Turkey or abroad. This includes drafting the appropriate wording, arranging notarial procedures, managing apostille requirements and ensuring that documents are valid for use before Turkish authorities.
We prepare, review and adapt contracts involving foreign elements in line with Turkish law. Through our in-house certified/sworn translator, legal translations between Turkish and English are produced accurately and consistently for use before official authorities, notaries and courts.
"The mediation process offers a holistic approach that takes into account not only the legal aspects of a dispute, but also the commercial, economic, and human relationships between the parties."
The mediation process offers a holistic approach that takes into account not only the legal aspects of a dispute, but also the commercial, economic, and human relationships between the parties. In contrast to the length and uncertainty of court proceedings, mediation provides significant advantages by saving time and costs, operating on the principle of confidentiality, and enabling the parties to protect their respective interests collectively. It is particularly effective in disputes where the continuation of the relationship between the parties is important, as its structure actively encourages amicable settlement.
Introduced into the Turkish legal system in 2013, mediation has become increasingly preferred due to the positive outcomes achieved in practice. Especially in employment law disputes and commercial cases, the introduction of mandatory mediation as a prerequisite to filing a lawsuit has significantly expanded both the effectiveness and the scope of this dispute resolution method. In addition, the field of voluntary mediation—where parties may apply by mutual consent—continues to grow steadily.
Our Law Firm views mediation not merely as a legal requirement, but as a valuable opportunity for the constructive and lasting resolution of disputes. With an approach that seeks to balance the interests of the parties, strengthen communication, and establish a negotiation environment based on trust, we address each dispute within its own specific dynamics. Through our settlement-oriented, solution-focused, and transparent working philosophy, we aim to enable the parties to reach mutually satisfactory agreements swiftly and without recourse to judicial proceedings. Attorneys of our Firm, Av. Esra Hasanoğlu Kazmaz and Av. Cem Yalçın, also provide services as independent Mediators registered with the Mediation Department.
