+
How Can I Hire a Turkish Law Firm?
You can hire a Turkish law firm by agreeing on a fee in exchange for specific legal services. While this agreement can be verbal, to avoid misunderstandings it is strongly recommended that you sign a written fee agreement specifying the services and fee structure. Without a written agreement, the Turkish law firm is entitled to charge in accordance with the minimum legal fee tariff set by the relevant Bar Association.
+
How Can I Authorize a Turkish Law Firm to Represent Me?
You can authorize a law firm in Turkey by signing a notarized power of attorney (PoA) in the name of the attorney or attorneys at the firm. This can be executed at a Turkish notary office with the assistance of a sworn translator, or at the nearest Turkish embassy or consulate if you are outside Turkey. The PoA defines the scope of authority granted and is required for most formal legal representation in Turkey.
+
How Can I Terminate the Services of a Turkish Law Firm?
You can terminate a power of attorney by signing a notarized termination letter that specifically references the original PoA. This is executed at a Turkish notary office with a sworn translator. Before proceeding with formal termination, it is advisable to communicate directly with your attorney to attempt an amicable resolution, as formal termination may give rise to fee claims for work already completed.
