Yes. We conduct and report the defence strategy, the preparation for statements and the developments in the file in German or English; and in official proceedings we also take on the coordination of a sworn translator. A team that knows both legal cultures is decisive for foreign managers.

This is also a legal right, not merely a service: the Criminal Procedure Code (No. 5271) entitles anyone who cannot defend themselves adequately in Turkish to an interpreter for statements and hearings, at no cost to them. We make sure that right is genuinely exercised, and we check the translation of the critical documents ourselves — a single technical concept carried across wrongly can weaken a defence. On top of that we report in German or English, so that you follow the file as it develops rather than after the fact.
