Before a new engagement is accepted, a conflict-of-interest check is carried out with respect to the parties, the subject matter, and existing relationships. Confidentiality and independence are at the heart of our working model.
This policy explains Köksal Attorney Partnership’s approach to professional ethics, professional secrecy, independence, and conflict-of-interest management.
Professional framework
Our work is conducted in accordance with the legislation governing the legal profession, bar association rules, professional ethical principles, and the principle of protecting the client's interests.
Conflict of interest check
Before accepting a new matter, a conflict of interest check is carried out across the parties, opposing parties, affiliated companies, the subject matter, and existing files. Additional information is requested where necessary.
Confidentiality and secrecy
Information shared by the client is kept confidential even if the matter is not accepted. File information is shared only with authorised team members and to the extent the matter requires.
The first contact is confidential too
Information shared before an engagement is accepted is also protected under our confidentiality and professional secrecy approach.
Independence and professional judgment
Legal assessments are made independently of commercial or personal pressures. While the client's objective is taken into account, legal limits and professional obligations are preserved.
Matter acceptance and scoping
The scope of the matter, the team, the schedule, the fee arrangement, and the communication model are clarified in writing. When new needs outside the scope arise, a separate assessment is carried out.
