Defamatory posts, fake accounts and leaked images spread in hours. Turkish law offers fast remedies — content removal and access bans by a judge, usually within days — alongside criminal complaints and damages claims.
We act for individuals and companies in online reputation matters, cybercrime and fraud cases, and advise on software, SaaS and e-commerce agreements.
At a glance
Turkish courts recognise a right to be forgotten: outdated news and search results that no longer serve the public interest may be de-indexed or blocked. Each request requires a balancing of the public interest against personal rights.
Unauthorised access to systems, blocking or destroying data, and misuse of bank or credit cards are separate offences under the Turkish Criminal Code. We assist victims in filing complaints and preserving evidence, and represent accused persons.
In card and online banking fraud, banks bear significant duties of care. Victims should immediately notify their bank, file a criminal complaint and request the bank’s transaction logs; unauthorised transactions may be reclaimed from the bank.
We draft and negotiate software development, licensing, SaaS and e-commerce agreements, including service levels, intellectual property ownership and data protection clauses.
Screenshots alone are easy to dispute. Notarised determinations, forensic copies and provider records give digital evidence the weight it needs in court.
Yes. Content removal does not require identifying the user, and in criminal proceedings the prosecutor may request user data from the platform.

Online defamation and content removal
Where content violates personal rights, the person concerned may ask the content or hosting provider to remove it, or apply directly to the criminal judgeship of peace for removal and an access ban. A criminal complaint for insult or defamation and a civil claim for moral damages may be pursued in parallel.
