Preventive Law
Contract architecture, corporate structuring and compliance programmes. We map the risk before a dispute arises, so the most expensive case is the one never brought.

Since its founding, Demir Law Office has been active on both national and international matters, providing advisory and attorney services to its clients.
Our Practice
Since 2007,
Since 2007,
with the same discipline.
Our practice was founded in 2007 on a single observation: clients tended to come to a lawyer only once it was too late. Yet the same matter could often have been resolved at a far earlier stage, with a far smaller intervention.
Over the years our practice areas have broadened from energy investments to family law; the method has not changed. On every matter we first ask: is there a way to reach this outcome without litigation? If the answer is yes, a case not filed is not a case lost — it is a year gained.
Today we act for both corporate and individual clients on national and cross-border matters. We work with academic advisors in technical fields and, for matters across Türkiye, with our network of correspondent lawyers.

Our Approach
The value of a law office is measured not by the number of cases it has won, but by the cases its client never had to enter.
For us this is not a slogan but the working method itself. If two hours spent before signing a contract can take the place of proceedings that would last three years, then the work has been done properly.
For that reason we treat matters not as cases to be won but as risks to be managed. Litigation is only one of the tools at our disposal — and usually the most expensive.
Demir Law Office
Our Service Model
Three distinct capabilities,
Three distinct capabilities,
one single team.
Whatever stage your matter is at, it is handled by the same team. When advisory work turns into litigation, you never have to explain your file again.
Dispute Resolution
Mediation, arbitration, litigation and enforcement. On every matter we balance time, cost and recoverability, and set the strategy together with the client.
Ongoing Counsel
Under a fixed monthly retainer we work as your in-house legal department, giving written opinions on day-to-day decisions the same day.
Who We Work With
Four client profiles,
Write to us
Four client profiles,
four working rhythms.
A holding company’s legal needs cannot be handled the same way as a family’s inheritance matter. For each profile we apply a different communication routine, a different reporting frequency and a different fee model.
01
Corporate Clients
Groups of companies, production facilities and energy investors. Under a fixed monthly retainer we work as the company's own legal department, giving written opinions on day-to-day decisions the same day.
02
Commercial Enterprises and Start-ups
Building the contractual framework, structuring the shareholding, managing receivables and handling investment processes during the growth stage. The right structure, established early, adds value in every subsequent round.
03
Individuals and Families
Matters concerning family, inheritance, real estate and personal rights. Here the issue is not merely legal; it is the protection of a life plan, a name or a reputation. We manage the process accordingly.
04
Foreign Investors and Citizens Living Abroad
Incorporation of companies and liaison offices, acquisition of real property, residence permit and citizenship applications, and recognition and enforcement proceedings. The process can be conducted entirely remotely under a power of attorney.
Team & Academic Counsel
Expertise does not fit
Expertise does not fit
into one person.
Alongside a team of lawyers and support staff, each specialised in their own field, our practice works with academic advisors drawn from various areas of law and technical expertise. On matters requiring expert examination — energy, construction and files involving financial calculation — we build the legal argument and the technical data at the same table.
We manage your files before courts and enforcement offices across Türkiye through our network of correspondent lawyers and electronic case tracking via UYAP. For clients residing abroad, the entire process can be conducted remotely under a power of attorney.

Bringing every document you hold relating to your matter — contracts, notices, correspondence, invoices, title records — together with their dates will speed up the process.

Fees are determined within the framework of the Istanbul Bar Association's Recommended Minimum Fee Tariff and the Attorneyship Minimum Fee Tariff, taking into account the nature of the work, the expected duration and the intensity of effort involved.
