Contract law is the branch of law that governs the legal relationships established between natural and legal persons, defines the rights and obligations of the parties, and covers the processes for resolving disputes arising from contracts.
Nacar Law provides legal support to its clients in the preparation, review, and negotiation of contracts in the context of personal and commercial relationships, as well as in the resolution of disputes arising from such contracts.
The Scope of Contract Law
In Turkey, the fundamental regulations governing contracts are set forth primarily in the Turkish Code of Obligations No. 6098, as well as—depending on the nature of the contract—in the Turkish Commercial Code, the Consumer Protection Law, the Labor Code, and other relevant legislation.
Topics such as the formation, validity, and form of a contract; the mutual obligations of the parties; the performance of obligations; breach of contract; and the termination of a contract are among the fundamental elements of contract law.
Since the parties, purpose, and legal consequences of each contract may differ, it is important to evaluate the terms of the contract in light of the specific legal relationship.

Drafting and Reviewing Contracts
When drafting contracts, it is important to define the parties’ rights and obligations in a clear and understandable manner that is consistent with the nature of the legal relationship.
The subject matter of the contract, the parties’ obligations, payment terms, duration, delivery and performance conditions, scope of liability, guarantees, and termination conditions are among the key issues that must be evaluated based on the nature of the contract.
A legal review of a draft contract prior to its signing can help identify the obligations a party will assume and the legal risks it may face.
Breach of Contract and Termination
A party’s failure to fulfill its obligations under the contract at all or as required, a delay in performance, or a breach of other provisions of the contract may give rise to various legal consequences.
The legal remedies available in the event of a breach of contract may vary depending on the type of contract, the nature of the breach, and the specific circumstances of the case.
In the event of termination of the contract or its expiration for any other reason, notice periods, payment obligations, compensation, liquidated damages, refunds, and obligations that will continue after the contract ends may also need to be evaluated separately.
Disputes Arising from Contracts
The interpretation, enforcement, or breach of the contract may give rise to a dispute between the parties. In such a case, the provisions of the contract, the parties’ mutual obligations, correspondence, transactions carried out, and other relevant documents must be evaluated collectively.
Depending on the nature of the dispute, negotiation, mediation, arbitration, litigation, or other legal remedies may be considered.
