A law office in İzmir Alsancak operating since 1992 — bringing academic depth and professional experience together to deliver legal opinions, advisory work and litigation services.
Law in academia is a science; in the courtroom it is the living practice of that science. The lawyer is the one who brings legal science to life — before the courts and at every stage of practice.
Knowledge without practice is a ship without a compass; practice without knowledge is medicine that never reaches the patient. That is why we value and prioritise the union of knowledge and practice in every legal proceeding. Because the lawyer is the person who places knowledge and experience in the service of justice and at the disposal of others (AvK art. 2).
The foundations of our office were laid in 1992 by Prof. Dr. Muhammet Özekes and Prof. Dr. Vural Seven. For more than three decades we have brought academic depth and judicial practice onto the same page. An approach grounded in knowledge, research and experience is our defining element. From day one our guiding principle has been to put the "preventive law" mindset — anticipating disputes before they arise — into practice with the rigor that knowledge and professional ethics demand.
Meet the firm→The headings listed below are the areas of law in which we prepare opinions and advisory work and run litigation — and therefore where our practice is most concentrated. Where the dispute requires it, the matter is handled in cooperation with specialists in the field or fellow practitioners we work with.
Advisory across the entire commercial-law cycle: disputes arising from the activities of commercial enterprises, company law, competition law, intellectual-property law and negotiable-instruments law. Carriage law, maritime commercial law and insurance law also fall within our practice. Resolution through litigation, alternative dispute-resolution methods, negotiation and arbitration.
From contract formation to performance, liability law to damages calculation; review of standard contracts and assessment of general terms and conditions.
Legal services covering all individual and collective labour disputes that may arise from the formation through to the termination of an employment relationship — alongside the legal questions and disputes that arise within social-security frameworks.
Criminal disputes — particularly economic crimes and matters arising from relationships with a private-law dimension.
Annulment and full remedy actions against administrative acts and conduct; administrative contracts and disputes arising from public procurement.
Advisory, administrative applications and litigation in disputes arising from tax assessments, tax penalties and fiscal obligations.
Disputes and advisory services covering the formation, continuation and dissolution of family unity and the financial and legal consequences of those processes — together with advisory work on custody, guardianship and trusteeship matters under personal law. Given the importance of family and personal rights, in such matters we work first to resolve the issue before it ripens into a dispute and, where a dispute does arise, to settle it in the most reasonable way that does not damage the parties' future relations.
Advisory and legal services on succession-law disputes — obtaining the certificate of inheritance, drafting wills and inheritance agreements, claims for reduction (tenkis) and equalisation (denkleştirme) — and on other legal questions connected to succession law.
Advisory services on the protection of movable and immovable assets, alongside advisory and legal work on transactions, cases and processes that result in the transfer of ownership.
Advisory on every legal step and institution a creditor must use to collect a receivable — enforcement proceedings and related transactions and actions, dealings with financial and credit institutions, as well as concordato (composition) processes, bankruptcy proceedings and the actions that arise within them.
Voluntary and mandatory mediation; international commercial arbitration under ICC and UNCITRAL rules.
Formation, drafting of statutes and audit processes; internal-governance disputes and current changes in third-sector legislation.
Choice-of-law and jurisdiction agreements under Turkish private international law; recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.
