Looking for a lawyer in Kağıthane?

We accompany clients who live in Kağıthane or own property there through the whole process, from advice to conducting the case. Next to the courthouse and well served by the metro, it is easy to reach.

Its proximity to the Çağlayan Courthouse allows quick action in criminal and enforcement files.

What do we handle in Kağıthane?

Commercial and company law, enforcement and bankruptcy, employment law and compensation law are the headings that stand out in our Kağıthane files. We take files in other areas of law as well; which court has jurisdiction becomes clear at the first meeting, according to the nature of the dispute.

Main neighbourhoods

We respond to enquiries from across the district, and above all from Seyrantepe, Gültepe, Çağlayan, Sanayi, Merkez and the surrounding area.

How does the meeting work?

You can have the first meeting at our office in Bakırköy in person or by video. If you send your documents digitally beforehand, we complete the preliminary assessment before the meeting and set out the roadmap in a single session.

What does being next to the Çağlayan Courthouse give you?

Kağıthane is one of the few districts within walking distance of the Istanbul Courthouse (Çağlayan). That makes a practical difference above all where hours count.

On the criminal side it becomes possible to attend as defence counsel while a person in custody gives their statement, to examine the file before questioning where someone has been referred with a request for detention, and to lodge a challenge to detention the same day. Each of those steps becomes hard to make good once delayed: a statement once recorded in the investigation file remains there even if it is changed afterwards.

On the enforcement side the interval between obtaining an order for provisional attachment and applying it shortens — which bears directly on the prospects of collection in files where the debtor may put assets out of reach.

In the district’s own file profile, the urban regeneration projects along the Seyrantepe and Gültepe corridor and the disputes over commercial tenancies and transfers of business in areas converted from industry come to the fore.

A practical note: When someone is taken into custody, notice is given to their relatives but not automatically to a lawyer. The fastest step for someone who learns that a relative is in custody is to find out the police unit and the file number and to ask for defence counsel to be assigned; the counsel entering the file before the statement is taken is decisive.

Which courthouse will your case be heard in?

Disputes within the boundaries of Kağıthane are heard at the Istanbul Courthouse (Çağlayan). This site, the central courthouse for the European side, has civil courts of first instance, commercial, family, labour, civil courts of peace, intellectual and industrial property, criminal courts of first instance and serious crime courts, together with the enforcement offices. Because the intellectual and industrial property courts sit here, this courthouse is the single address for trade mark and design disputes on the European side.

Administrative disputes are heard at a separate site, in the Istanbul administrative and tax courts.
