Turkish Civil Litigation
We specialise in providing legal representation and assistance to clients involved in civil disputes within the Turkish legal system.
- Legal Representation: We represent clients in civil lawsuits and legal proceedings before Turkish courts. We handle a wide range of civil disputes, including contract disputes, property disputes, tort claims, employment disputes, family law matters, and commercial litigation.
- Case Evaluation and Strategy: We assess the merits of clients' cases, evaluate the legal and factual issues involved, and develop strategic plans for achieving the best possible outcomes. We provide legal advice and guidance on the strengths and weaknesses of clients' positions and recommend the most appropriate course of action.
- Pleadings and Court Filings: We prepare and file legal pleadings, motions, and other court documents on behalf of their clients via UYAP.
UYAP is a comprehensive electronic information system developed by the Ministry of Justice of Turkiye to streamline the operations of the Turkish judicial system. It serves as an integrated platform for managing judicial processes, case management, document filing, communication between courts and stakeholders, and access to legal information.
Our filing services includes drafting complaints, answers, motions for summary judgment, discovery requests, and appellate briefs, as well as responding to filings from opposing parties.
- Discovery and Evidence Gathering: We conduct discovery proceedings to gather evidence in support of their clients' claims or defences. This may involve issuing subpoenas, taking depositions, conducting witness interviews, and gathering documentary evidence to strengthen the client's case.
- Negotiation and Settlement: We negotiate settlements and resolution agreements on behalf of clients to avoid the need for protracted litigation. We engage in settlement discussions with opposing parties and their legal representatives, negotiate favourable terms, and draft settlement agreements to formalise the resolution of disputes.
- Trial Advocacy: If a civil case proceeds to trial, we provide vigorous advocacy and representation for clients in the courtroom. We present evidence, examine witnesses, argue legal points, and advocate for the client's best interests before the judge.
- Appellate Practice: Civil litigation law firms handle appeals of adverse trial court decisions to higher courts. We review trial court records, identify legal errors or issues for appeal, draft appellate briefs, and present oral arguments to appellate courts to seek reversal or modification of lower court judgments.
- Enforcement of Judgments: After obtaining favourable judgments or settlements for our clients, we assist with the enforcement of court orders and judgments. We take legal action to collect monetary damages, enforce injunctive relief, or execute on property or assets to satisfy court-ordered obligations.
- Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): We may also provide representation in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) proceedings, such as mediation as an alternative to traditional litigation. We advocate for clients' interests and negotiate settlements in ADR forums to resolve disputes efficiently and cost-effectively.
Overall, we advocate for clients' best interests, protecting their legal rights, and achieving favourable outcomes in civil disputes through skilful negotiation, litigation, and advocacy within the Turkish legal system.
