Civil Law

Civil law (and a civil lawyer) defines the rights and responsibilities of individuals, state institutions, and private or non-governmental organizations in their interactions with one another. A violation of a civil right or obligation generally does not lead to criminal proceedings or sanctions. Therefore, the Civil Code provides regulations ranging from the protection of personal rights to the steps that heirs must follow and how an inheritance is to be divided after a person’s death. The law imposes both rights and obligations on individuals through these provisions.

Civil law is a broad branch of law encompassing Law of Persons, Family Law, Inheritance Law, Law of Obligations, and Property Law. The Law Office of Attorney Ozan Soylu provides legal consultancy and conducts litigation processes in all types of disputes arising from these sub-branches of civil law. Since civil law often concerns rights that are closely linked to the individual, it is extremely important for individuals to seek legal advice to protect these rights and prevent possible losses. On the other hand, the main sources of civil law disputes are Family Law—such as divorce and related cases—and Inheritance Law. Although other areas are equally significant, disputes in practice most frequently arise in these fields.

Our law office primarily handles the following civil law cases. Beyond those listed, our firm works with an expert team to resolve any dispute arising under the Civil Code. The cases mentioned below are those most commonly encountered in practice and where individuals tend to face the greatest number of conflicts.
