Scope

Contract law practice is primarily conducted within the framework of Law No. 6098 (Turkish Code of Obligations). Depending on the type of contract, special provisions relating to lease, service, work, or sale agreements are also taken into account.

Legal support continues from the negotiation stage through the performance process and, in the event of a dispute, the pursuit of compensation or penalty clause claims.

Common Situations

Contract texts that clearly set out the rights and obligations of the parties are drafted, or existing contracts are reviewed.

Penalty Clause Applications

The validity conditions of the penalty clause are assessed, and the amount that may be claimed and the possibility of reduction in case of a dispute are analyzed.

Lease Agreement Disputes

Legal follow-up is provided for the tenant or landlord on matters such as rent determination, eviction, and security deposits.

Compensation Claims Arising from Contracts

The necessary notice, litigation, or arbitration processes are conducted to obtain compensation for damages arising from a breach of contract.
