A verified lawyer in Turkey, when your matter reaches it
Turkey sits at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and foreign firms increasingly find a thread of a matter running through it. When you need someone on the ground in İstanbul, Ankara or İzmir, engage a verified Turkish colleague — and stay the lawyer in charge.
✦ Free for lawyers — no commission, no hidden fees.
Foreign lawyers cannot appear before a Turkish court or act as Turkish counsel — that requires admission to a Turkish bar (baro). The practical way to serve a client whose matter touches Turkey is to delegate the local part to a verified Turkish lawyer, while you keep the client relationship and the overall matter.
LawyerGo is a lawyer-to-lawyer network. Each Turkish lawyer is checked against their bar registration before they can take work, so the colleague you brief is genuinely entitled to act — no cold introductions, no agency in between.
The work that needs a lawyer in Turkey
From contentious to corporate, these are the tasks foreign firms most often delegate to a verified Turkish colleague.
Litigation & representation
Local representation before a Turkish court — a hearing, an application, or a procedural step that must be taken by an admitted Turkish lawyer.
Enforcement & debt recovery
Enforcing a foreign judgment or arbitral award in Turkey, or pursuing a Turkish debtor through the local enforcement procedure.
Real estate
Title checks, purchase and transfer, and disputes over Turkish property — including matters for foreign owners and inheritance of real estate.
Corporate & commercial
Company formation, local filings, contracts and commercial disputes for businesses operating into or out of Turkey.
Due diligence & local-law opinions
A focused opinion on a point of Turkish law, or local diligence your client needs to rely on for a cross-border decision.
Notarial & registry errands
A signing, an apostille step, or a registry visit that has to be done in person — handled by a verified colleague in the right city.
Verified, and on your terms
The risk in finding foreign counsel is trust: is this lawyer really admitted, and can I brief them clearly? LawyerGo profiles show the Turkish bar registration, jurisdiction and languages, so you engage a colleague you can rely on — often working in English, German or Dutch.
You stay responsible for the matter and the client; your Turkish colleague takes responsibility for the local task. Conflicts and confidentiality remain yours to manage, and any fee is agreed directly between you — LawyerGo never takes a cut.

What LawyerGo is — and is not
We keep the platform honest by being explicit about how it works and where the legal responsibility sits.
We are not a law firm
LawyerGo is a technology platform that connects lawyers. We do not practise law, represent clients, or provide legal services ourselves.
No legal advice from us
Any legal advice comes from the qualified lawyer you engage — never from LawyerGo. We facilitate the connection, nothing more.
Fees arranged directly
Lawyers agree any fee between themselves and settle it directly. We take no commission, charge no fees, and never hold or move money.
Bar verification required
Every account is checked against its bar or law-society registration before it can post or accept work. Unverified accounts cannot transact.
Your duties stay yours
Client consent, conflict checks, confidentiality, and compliance with your bar rules remain the responsibility of the instructing and receiving lawyer.
Confidential by design
Files and messages are encrypted, engagement-level NDAs apply, and verification documents are visible only to our review officers.
