Employment Law

We provide practical support in day-to-day employment matters, helping clients manage their workforce while complying with Turkish employment and social security legislation.

Our services include the preparation and review of employment contracts, workplace policies and internal regulations; working-time and overtime arrangements; remuneration and employee benefits; remote and flexible working models; disciplinary procedures; workplace investigations; employee performance management; restructuring and collective redundancies; transfers of employees and workplaces; subcontracting and temporary employment arrangements; and the termination of employment relationships.

We also advise on the employment aspects of mergers, acquisitions, business transfers and corporate reorganisations, including employment due diligence, employee transfers, harmonisation of employment terms and post-transaction restructuring.

Our lawyers represent employers and employees in mandatory mediation proceedings and litigation, including claims for reinstatement, severance and notice payments, overtime pay, annual leave and other employment-related receivables. We also handle disputes concerning workplace accidents, employer liability, discrimination, harassment, restrictive covenants, confidentiality obligations and recourse claims arising from subcontractor relationships.

Our team works closely with clients’ human resources, finance and management teams to provide clear, commercially focused and preventive advice. Where disputes cannot be avoided, we develop and implement litigation strategies tailored to the legal, operational and reputational risks involved.
