COMMERCIAL LAW

​

Business world has a flexible structure that needs adabtability and persistency. Therefore, also the adabtability of the legal business and transactions related to commercial business life is as important as their accuracy. In this context, one of the prominent issues is commercial contracts. In order for the business life to proceed in a healthy way both within the borders of our country and internationally, commercial contracts play an important role in the stages of prevention of disputes, removal of uncertainties and ensuring maximum confidence.

 

Today, with the developing technology, e-commerce has spread rapidly. E-commerce is the case when commercial activities are conducted via electronic devices and internet.

CONTRACTS LAW

 

Contracts are agreements where more than one natural or legal person is entitled to or against each other. Covering almost every branch of law, we encounter with Law of Contract especially in the fields such as Commercial Law, Maritime and Transportation Law, Labour Law, Intellectual Property Law, Consumer Law. The parties are not limited to the types of contracts in the provisions of prviate law of contracts due to the "freedom of contract" which is guaranteed by the Constitution, as long as it is not against the general legal rules and public order. This situation led to the emergence of contracts other than the types of contracts in the laws and the birth of the Law of Contracts as a distinct branch of law.

​

We are working in the field of Law of Contracts, providing legal consultancy services in the matters of representation in the stages of pre-contract, preparation, negotiation and signature; determination of criminal conditions in order to prevent possible violations and damages; supervision of the compliance with the general framework and behaviour of contracts not regulated by laws such as franchising or sponsorship.

In the event of repatriation of a foreigner by deporting, when there is a situation where his/her life or freedom will be under threat, then the principle of non-refoulement may come to the fore.
