Who we are
An Antalya law firm acting for foreign nationals and Turkish clients
Kaymaz Law Firm acts before Turkish courts, notaries, land registries and migration authorities from its office in Antalya. It works in English and Turkish.
Clients who live abroad instruct the firm on a power of attorney and follow their file in writing. Clients in Antalya can meet personally.
How the firm works
Five arrangements that apply to every file, set out as the questions a client asks before instructing a lawyer in another country.
-
Do I have to come to Turkey?
Usually not. If you live outside Turkey, the firm can act for you on a power of attorney (in Turkish, vekâletname) signed where you are: at a Turkish consulate, before a local notary with an apostille, or through consular legalisation. The firm drafts the wording before you sign, because the document has to name every act you authorise. Each route is explained in the guide to issuing a power of attorney abroad.
-
Which language will you use with me?
English or Turkish, for letters, calls, updates and document summaries. For other languages, the firm works with sworn translators and brings one in when a matter needs it. Filings with Turkish courts and authorities are made in Turkish, and you are told which of your own documents need a sworn translation.
-
Who goes to the hearing?
Att. Ahmet Kaymaz or a lawyer working with us, in person. Filings at the Provincial Directorate of Migration Management and signings at the land registry are handled the same way, under your power of attorney. The few matters that need you there yourself are identified before you instruct us.
-
How will I know what has happened?
After each hearing, filing or official decision you receive a written update, with the document attached and a plain explanation of what it changes for you.
-
When will I learn the fee?
Before the appointment. Whether a first consultation is charged depends on what it involves. If it is, you are told the amount first, and nothing is charged without your agreement. Fees are set with reference to the Attorneyship Minimum Fee Tariff, published each year by the Union of Turkish Bar Associations.
