Russian-speaking lawyers in Turkey

Russians, Ukrainians, Kazakhs and other Russian speakers have moved to Turkey in large numbers, especially along the Antalya coast. Russian-speaking lawyers in Turkey help them settle and invest.

Typical matters are short-term and long-term residence permits, buying apartments and obtaining the tapu, citizenship by investment, opening companies and bank accounts, employment, divorce and custody, and disputes with developers over off-plan homes. Turkish avukats must be registered with a provincial bar, and you can ask for their bar card. Many residents also need help with tax numbers, notarised powers of attorney and translations for the migration office. Courts work in Turkish, so Russian documents need an apostille and a notarised translation.

Fees are agreed by contract above the official minimum tariff. Russian-speaking lawyers in Turkey are concentrated in Antalya, Alanya, Mersin and Istanbul. Some agencies offering legal help are not law firms, so confirm that Russian-speaking lawyers in Turkey you hire are bar members. Compare the firms below and contact them directly.
