Common questions
Do you advise on English law?
No. We advise on Turkish law only. For matters governed by the law of England and Wales, please speak to a UK solicitor.
Can I get advice in Turkish?
Yes. Every consultation is available in Türkçe or English, whichever you prefer.
Do I need to travel to Türkiye?
Often not. Many matters can move forward through a power of attorney. We will tell you clearly if you need to be in Türkiye in person.
How do consultations work?
By video call or phone, at a time that suits you. Send us your documents in advance and we will review them before we speak.
Do you work with other firms?
Yes. We support UK law and immigration firms with Turkish-law questions, documents and casework.
