About
Built for international clients, grounded in Turkish law
Yilmaz Attorneys was founded in 2018 in Antalya with a clear purpose: to provide international clients with the same calibre of legal representation in Türkiye that they would expect in their home jurisdictions. Today, from our headquarters in Istanbul and our European office in the Netherlands, our attorneys advise foreign nationals, expatriates, and international businesses on the full spectrum of Turkish law — from litigation and real estate to corporate structuring and immigration.
From Antalya to the world
What began as a solo practice in Antalya in 2018 has grown into a multilingual team of attorneys serving clients from over 40 countries. In 2022, attorneys İsmail Cem Özkan and Oğuzhan Bozyel joined as partners — and the firm became Yilmaz Attorneys. By 2023, we had extended our reach to Ankara. In 2025, attorney Büşra Nişancı joined the team and we opened our European presence in the Netherlands — reinforcing our commitment to serving clients wherever they are.
