Is the first meeting charged?
The 20-minute initial meeting is free. One-hour consultations in which an expert opinion is given are charged and prices are shown on the booking page.
How are legal fees set?
Fees are set as fixed, monthly, hourly or success-based depending on the nature, value, expected duration and complexity of the work, and are agreed in a written contract up front. The Turkish Bar Association minimum tariff is never undercut.
Is an online meeting confidential?
Yes. Meetings take place over an end-to-end encrypted connection, are not recorded and are protected by lawyer-client privilege.
How do I follow my case file?
Files opened under a service package are followed stage by stage in the client portal; hearing dates, pleadings and documents are visible there and notifications arrive by email.
Do you serve foreign clients?
Yes. We can prepare contracts and correspondence in English and German. We advise foreign investors on company set-up, work permits and property acquisition.
Do you handle cases across Turkey?
Besides our offices in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir, we handle files in courthouses across Turkey with partner bar lawyers; the responsible partner stays with us.
How long does a case last on average?
The duration varies with the type of case and the court's workload. Employment cases may take about 8-18 months including mediation, commercial cases 12-30 months. We give a matter-specific estimate in the first meeting.
How do I send documents securely?
You can send documents through the upload field of the file review form or the client portal. Files are stored on encrypted servers and only the matter team can access them.
