Overview

Making complex law clear and workable

Kanber Law Firm is a law firm practising in Istanbul. We advise and represent companies, investors and individuals in a range of areas, in particular commercial and corporate law, real estate and construction law, urban transformation, immigration law and Turkish citizenship.

Preventive advice is at the centre of how we work. A legal review carried out before a contract is signed, a property is purchased or an application is filed prevents a good share of the disputes that would otherwise arise later. Where a dispute cannot be avoided, we conduct the proceedings with the client’s commercial and personal priorities in mind.

Legal questions rarely fit into a single area. A foreign investor’s property purchase involves real estate, tax and citizenship rules at the same time; an urban transformation project touches both administrative law and construction contracts. We therefore look at each matter across the areas it actually involves.

We work in Turkish and English. For our international clients, we take care to explain Turkish legal institutions and procedures in terms that can be compared with their own legal systems.

Professional rules

We practise law within the framework of Attorneys’ Act No. 1136 and the Professional Rules of the Union of Turkish Bar Associations. The content on this website is provided for general information only; it is not advertising and does not constitute legal advice. Any specific legal question requires an assessment based on the facts of the particular case.

How we work

We aim to identify risks and take the necessary steps before disputes arise, making law part of our clients' day-to-day operations.

02 Privacy

We strictly observe the duty of confidentiality at the heart of the attorney-client relationship and the rules on the protection of personal data.

03 Transparency and regular updates

We keep our clients clearly informed at every stage of the process, and keep detailed records of all work so that it can be accessed when needed.

04 National and international perspective

We work in Turkish and English for clients in Türkiye and for clients involved in international transactions.
