Employment Law

The legislative amendments on employment and social security practices and the case-law in this area, which should be closely monitored, make it almost obligatory for checking compliance of the internal regulations of our clients, and providing continuous advice and opinions to the relevant departments. Accordingly, our Employment Law Department lawyers support our client companies by providing retainer based legal advisory and advocacy services on Turkish Employment Law just like an internal legal counsel.

Our legal advisory and advocacy services in Turkish Employment Law include the following:

• Employment law advisory on a retainer basis,
• Disputes related to compensation and contractual rights;
• Social security;
• Labor unions;
• Disputes in relation with the employment period;
• Work contracts and documents;
• Reviewing HR policy of companies; and
• Work and residence permits.

While continuous renewal of Turkish labor and social security rules and legislations brings forth significant opportunities for our clients, it is important to minimize your exposure to risk by complying with the legislation. The legal relationship between employer and employee in Turkey is very formal and highly regulated. The majority of direct and indirect legislation leans in favor of the protection of the employee's interests rather than the employer. Therefore, a careful and specialized approach is required to examine Turkish employment law and there are many important issues to be considered by the employer.

For this reason, our Employment Law team is able to provide focused and relevant advice to assist employers make the right strategic and operational decisions.

The legislative changes in labour and social security law which must be observed are leading clients to get advice and support with respect to internal regulations for compliance issues.

We provide advice and assistance to national and international employers and employees across a wide range of sectors in all aspects flowing from Turkish Employment Law.
