Legal solutions
grounded in
commercial reality.
Legal advisory and litigation services for companies and individuals in commercial law, finance, technology and dispute resolution.
01 About
No matter can be assessed apart from the client's commercial priorities.
Özyurt Law Office is an Istanbul-based law office serving companies and individuals in contract management, regulatory compliance and dispute resolution.
The approach of the office rests on identifying legal risk before it materialises. Where risk has already materialised, the aim is to conduct the process in a manner that is predictable, measurable and manageable from the client's perspective. Each matter is therefore considered for its commercial consequences alongside its legal merits.
In advisory engagements the scope, duration and fee arrangement are agreed in writing at the outset, and the client is kept informed throughout.
-
Predictability
Procedural steps, likely outcomes and costs are set out from the start.
-
Direct contact
Clients deal directly and continuously with the attorney handling the matter.
-
Confidentiality
The duty of professional secrecy under the Turkish Attorneyship Law is observed.
