Law of Obligations and Contracts

Obligations forming the foundation of social life and commercial activities are governed by the Turkish Code of Obligations and constitute a branch of law with an exceptionally broad field of application. Zengin & Aydın Law Firm is structured with specialized expertise in both preventive legal services and litigation arising from all types of obligation relationships involving individuals and businesses.

In today’s commercial environment as well as in daily relations, improperly drafted contracts or unlawful acts may result in substantial and irreparable financial losses. For clients seeking a law of obligations attorney in İzmir, our primary objective is to minimize legal risks before disputes arise and, where disputes do occur, to protect our clients’ rights in the most effective manner possible.

Our Services within the Scope of the Law of Obligations

Our office provides comprehensive legal support throughout all stages of an obligation relationship, from its formation to its termination, in the following areas:

1. Contract Law and Consultancy

Contracts are the principal source of obligation relationships. While the principle of freedom of contract prevails, agreements drafted in violation of mandatory statutory provisions are subject to invalidity.

Drafting and Revision of Contracts: Preparation of all types of typical and atypical contracts, including sale, lease, construction (works), service, mandate (power of attorney), suretyship, and dealership agreements.
Risk Analysis: Review of contract drafts presented by counterparties and revision of clauses unfavorable to the client.
Termination and Rescission of Contracts: Management of termination procedures in cases of breach, issuance of formal notices, and pursuit of penalty clauses.

Contracts prepared under the supervision of an experienced contract law attorney constitute the strongest line of defense in potential future disputes.

2. Compensation Law and Torts

Where a person causes damage to another through an unlawful act (tort), compensation liability arises.

Pecuniary and Non-Pecuniary Compensation Actions: Pursuit of compensation claims arising from traffic accidents, occupational accidents, medical malpractice, or violations of personal rights.
Determination of Fault and Damage: Conducting evidence determination procedures to establish the extent of damage and fault ratios.

3. Receivables Actions and Settlement of Obligation Relationships

Legal remedies applicable in cases of non-performance or defective performance of obligations are managed with due diligence by our office.

Actions for Unjust Enrichment: Restitution claims against parties who have been enriched without legal cause at the expense of another.
Debt Recovery and Restitution Actions: Filing lawsuits for the collection of unpaid debts, actions for annulment of objection, and negative declaratory actions.
Debt Settlement and Release: Drafting settlement and release protocols to terminate obligation relationships through amicable resolution or discharge.

4. Lease Law and Eviction Procedures

In lease relationships—an essential component of the Code of Obligations—we represent both lessors and lessees in matters concerning determination of rent, rent adjustment actions, and procedures based on eviction undertakings.

As Zengin & Aydın Law Firm, our aim is not only to resolve existing disputes but also, through our preventive law approach, to anticipate and mitigate future legal, financial, and reputational risks, thereby ensuring that our clients operate on the most secure legal footing possible.
