Attorney Law

Attorney law is a branch of law that covers the legal relations that lawyers encounter while practicing their profession and the regulations in this field. Since attorneyship is a profession based on fundamental principles such as independence, impartiality and confidentiality, lawyers have various legal and ethical responsibilities in order to best defend the rights of their clients. Attorney law also covers the disciplinary processes, professional disputes, contractual relations and various legal regulations that lawyers encounter throughout their professional lives.

In the Turkish legal system, the legal profession is regulated by the Lawyers Act No. 1136. This law comprehensively addresses the rules that determine the professional activities of lawyers, their rights and obligations, the establishment of law offices, attorney contracts and the role of lawyers in courts. Attorney law also includes issues such as disciplinary investigations, professional responsibilities and intra-professional contracts that lawyers may encounter while practicing their profession.
