Identity, contact, file content, transaction security, financial records, career application, and cookie data may be processed to the extent connected with the relevant process.

Your data may be processed based on the legal grounds of the establishment or performance of a contract, the fulfilment of our legal obligations, the establishment, exercise, or protection of a right, and legitimate interest. Where explicit consent is required, consent is additionally obtained.

Transfer of personal data

Your data may be shared with authorised public institutions, bar associations, courts, secure technical service providers, financial advisors, and, to the extent the matter requires, local or international experts.

Online forms, self-assessment and commercial communications

The identity, contact, and request-content data you submit through the contact, career, newsletter, and preliminary-assessment forms on our website, together with the documents you share, are processed for the purposes of responding to your request, carrying out the preliminary assessment, and providing our services. Preliminary-assessment records are deleted or anonymised within at most 2 years following the conclusion of the request; if an attorney engagement is established, file records are subject to professional retention periods.

Unless you submit the form, the answers you provide in the self-assessment tool on our Focus Area pages are kept only in your browser's local storage (localStorage) on your own device and are not transmitted to us; you can delete them at any time by clearing your browser data. If you share your answers via the form, they are processed solely for the purposes stated above.

Before any commercial electronic message is sent, your consent is registered with the Turkish Message Management System (İYS). You may withdraw your consent free of charge at any time. Consent and withdrawal records (together with date, channel, source and confirmation details) are retained as part of our burden of proof.
