We advise technology companies: software, SaaS, gaming, e-commerce, media, and AI: on the legal questions that come with building and operating digital products: platform terms, content and copyright, regulatory exposure, and internet-related disputes.
Because we work daily with venture-backed companies, our advice reflects how technology businesses actually ship product. We review data flows and product architecture alongside the contracts, and we draft terms that hold up to both regulator scrutiny and investor due diligence.
Our IT law work includes, among others:
- Regulatory advisory and analysis of current and upcoming legislation
- Website, platform, and SaaS agreements
- Intellectual property on the internet
- Structuring innovative business models
- Legal risk assessment for digital products
- Internet-related disputes and content takedowns
Typical matters
Much of our IT law work is about building the documents that sit around a product: terms of use, privacy policy, subscription and cancellation flows, purchase terms that comply with app-store rules, and API or integration agreements. We write these with the product team, looking at the actual user journey, because a clause that is correct on paper but cannot be applied on screen is of little use.
The second group of matters is platform liability. For platforms that host user content, publish listings or bring third-party sellers together, we handle hosting-provider obligations, content removal and access-blocking requests, notice-and-takedown procedures and the management of user disputes. In-game and in-app purchases, virtual items and mechanics with an element of chance, and the in-product disclosure of AI-assisted features are among the questions that reach us more and more often.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a SaaS agreement cover under Turkish law?
Beyond commercial terms: service levels and credits, data-processing and KVKK/GDPR responsibility allocation, IP ownership of customisations, liability caps that survive Turkish Code of Obligations scrutiny, limits on unilateral amendment for consumer-facing products, and exit and data-return mechanics.
Is a clickwrap or online contract enforceable in Türkiye?
Yes — Turkish law recognises electronic contracts, and clickwrap acceptance generally creates a binding agreement. The practical risks are evidencing acceptance, mandatory consumer-law disclosures for B2C products under e-commerce and distance-contract rules, and unfair-term review of standard conditions.
Who owns the IP in software developed by employees or contractors?
Code written by employees in the course of employment generally vests in the employer by operation of law. Contractor work does not transfer automatically — a written assignment is required. Investor due diligence always asks for a complete IP-assignment chain, so close the gaps early.
