📜 The service
What Is Online Legal Consultation in Turkey?
Online legal consultation is a service that lets individuals and companies discuss their legal issues with a lawyer by video call, phone, email or other online channels. By removing the need to meet in person, it offers the same legal assessment as a face-to-face meeting: your issue is heard, your documents are reviewed, and the legal options, deadlines and risks under Turkish law are explained clearly.
Because of strict statutory time limits and filing requirements, even a seemingly simple legal issue can lead to a serious loss of rights if you rely on wrong information found online. Under Attorneys’ Act No. 1136, giving legal opinions is an activity reserved for lawyers, who are professionally responsible for the advice they give. That is why online legal advice in Turkey is reliable only when it comes from a lawyer registered with a Turkish bar association.
With this approach, C&B Law Firm has extended the legal advice it has offered at its Istanbul office since 2013 to digital channels, with the same care and confidentiality. Our online consultations with a Turkish lawyer are are handled by lawyers who work in the relevant field, under the supervision of our partners.
