We are a law firm based in Nilüfer, Bursa, founded in 2017 by Av. Arb. Emine Feyza Aslan. Both of our lawyers speak English, so you can discuss your matter directly with the lawyer handling it, not through an intermediary. We advise foreign nationals living in Bursa, people buying property here from abroad and Turkish-foreign families.
How we can help
Buying property in Bursa. Before you pay a deposit we check the title deed record (tapu) for mortgages, liens and annotations, confirm zoning and the occupancy permit, and review the sales contract. We then attend the transfer at the land registry with you or on your behalf. If you are planning to apply for a residence permit or Turkish citizenship through property, we check the conditions before you commit. Read our guide for foreign buyers.
Divorce, custody and recognition of foreign judgments. We handle uncontested and contested divorce before the Bursa family courts, child custody and maintenance, and the recognition in Turkey of divorce judgments issued abroad. More on divorce for international families.
Inheritance. When a foreign national inherits property in Turkey, or a Turkish relative dies leaving property to heirs abroad, a certificate of inheritance and a transfer at the land registry are needed. We obtain the certificate, handle the transfer and the inheritance tax return, and advise on dividing or selling shared property.
Employment. Foreign employees in Bursa’s industrial and automotive sector have the same rights as Turkish employees under the Labour Act, including severance pay and notice pay. Claims must first go to mandatory mediation. We represent employees and employers in mediation and before the labour courts.
Criminal matters. If you or a family member are questioned, detained or charged in Bursa, we attend police and prosecutor interviews, challenge detention orders and defend the case at trial. Anyone who does not speak Turkish is entitled to a free interpreter.
Tenancy. We advise landlords and tenants on rent increases, eviction and deposit disputes, which must also go to mediation before court.
