YOUR INSTRUCTIONPersonal, business or professional
Our approach connects the legal assessment to the decision you need to make.
Clear instructions and organised records help identify what can be assessed and what remains uncertain. The appointed lawyer considers the agreed information, explains relevant gaps and discusses the next work that may be appropriate.
The process should make responsibility, deliverables and limitations understandable before action is relied on.
A useful assessment begins with what you need to decide.
A client may describe a problem as an unpaid invoice, a permit refusal or a contract dispute. The legal question depends on the actual parties, records and procedural stage. We begin by identifying the immediate concern and the practical objective, rather than assume a label determines the right response.
Tell us what has already happened, which commitments have been made and which decisions or deadlines are approaching. Existing advice, proceedings and communications should be identified so the assessment starts from the current position.
Identify the client, parties, countries, objective and current stage. Flag notices, hearings and transaction dates so procedural urgency can be assessed rather than assumed from a general website description.
Agree which contracts, decisions, records and attachments are included. Original versions, later amendments and related proceedings can change the assessment. Explain what is unavailable or in another language.
The appointed lawyer considers the agreed material and identifies which points are supported, disputed or unverified. A client’s account is important context, but documents and missing evidence must be assessed openly.
The review can identify possible advice, further investigation, negotiation, applications or proceedings. The relevant forum, authority and other professional input depend on the matter. No route is chosen solely because it appears more immediate.
A recommendation and an instruction are different steps. Confirm what further work is accepted, the intended deliverables, fees and authority. If information is insufficient, additional review may be needed before substantive action is advised.
For a family, residence, inheritance or other personal matter, the review connects your circumstances with the decisions, records and procedure involved. Sensitive information should be limited to what is relevant and shared through an agreed method.
Related issues may require separate work; for example, a divorce, property claim and foreign judgment are not automatically one engagement.
Explore the relevant practice area ↗A transaction review should identify what you are acquiring or promising, who has authority and which documents define the obligations. Explain whether a draft can still be negotiated or has already been signed.
Legal review is coordinated with technical, financial and other specialist work where needed. It does not guarantee that a transaction is free of risk.
Explore document & contract review ↗Businesses may need a defined project or recurring legal support. The assessment should reflect the activity, decision-makers, contracts and current disputes, with reporting and additional-work approval agreed.
A legal entitlement, a favourable decision and practical recovery are distinct questions. Costs, evidence and implementation should be considered alongside the intended claim.
Explore ongoing corporate counsel ↗The discussion should connect legal questions to the decision you face. Ask which facts matter, what remains uncertain and what further material would change the assessment. The aim is to support informed instructions rather than present unexplained legal terminology.
Tell us your preferred language and any accessibility or scheduling needs when arranging the consultation. The meeting language and any separate translation or interpretation are confirmed for the matter.
An oral consultation, written legal opinion, marked-up draft and prepared application serve different purposes. Confirm what you will receive, which questions it addresses and what assumptions or exclusions apply. A written report is not automatically included in every meeting.
Explain the intended audience before commissioning written advice. Work intended for your own decision may need a different scope from material intended for a business partner, authority or proceeding.
Organised records matter. Keep complete versions and attachments, identify changes and preserve relevant original communications. Ask before sending sensitive material; an unsolicited document bundle is not an agreed review.
For clients abroad, the first assessment identifies the countries, parties, documents and proposed Turkish work. Online consultation can help begin that discussion, but it does not remove requirements for authority, original records, certification or personal participation in later steps.
A power of attorney should be assessed against the intended acts and receiving authority before it is arranged. The correct form and any overseas formalities depend on the actual document and transaction, not a general assumption that a single template works everywhere.
Read about powers of attorney ↗Foreign-law advice, local representation in another country, accounting, valuation, engineering and research may need separate providers. Their availability, responsibilities, fees and information-sharing arrangements should be confirmed.
Coordination is part of the planning, not a claim that every service is delivered in-house or that a Turkish engagement covers every country involved.
A well-defined engagement states the client, responsible lawyer, legal questions, document set and intended work. Professional fees are distinguished from official charges and external-provider costs. Any authority needed to act should be identified alongside those arrangements.
New evidence, another party, a counterclaim or a proposed transaction change may alter the work needed. Discuss whether the existing scope covers the development and what additional assessment or fee approval is required.
The consultation should not be treated as unlimited future advice, and a recurring business relationship should identify the categories and volume of work it covers.
Flag the complete notice or decision and its notification details immediately. A message does not establish that the lawyer has accepted an urgent procedural step. Confirm the engagement, instructions and documents required for the action.
Courts, authorities and counterparties control decisions outside the provider’s responsibility. No permit, judgment, recovery or completion date is guaranteed.
These answers explain the proposed working relationship. Advice on your own circumstances requires an agreed assessment with the appointed lawyer.
Identify the actual question, your role, relevant countries, available documents and any approaching deadline. The consultation and review scope are then confirmed with the responsible lawyer.
Explain what is available, missing or uncertain. The lawyer can identify the limits of the assessment and whether additional records or specialist work should be considered before further advice is given.
Yes, a written deliverable can be considered under an expressly agreed scope. Define the question, document set, intended audience and purpose before the opinion or report is commissioned.
An initial meeting can be online, subject to availability and scope. Later work depends on the procedure, authority and document requirements, including any personal participation.
The assessment should consider the actual objective, evidence, procedure and available routes. Negotiation, further review, an application or proceedings may involve different work. No single approach is suitable for every matter.
The Turkish legal work and any foreign-law questions are identified separately. Appropriately qualified foreign counsel or other providers may be needed under confirmed arrangements.
Only the agreed scope is included. Drafting, negotiations, applications, proceedings and future advice must be expressly accepted, with fees and authority confirmed as needed.
Tell us your role, the subject, the countries involved and any approaching deadline. Identify whether you need a consultation, document work, representation, business counsel or a professional instruction.
Start with a brief outline and ask how sensitive records should be shared. The client, responsible lawyer, scope and fees are confirmed before the agreed legal work begins.
