Digital Services

The rapidly expanding boundaries of the digital world offer companies a wide range of innovative services, and transform the way they operate. From cloud-based infrastructure to artificial intelligence-powered tools, these services are redefining possibilities. Therefore, it is crucial to stay ahead by swiftly adapting to the constantly evolving legal frameworks governing this realm.  

Our law firm, equipped with specialized knowledge in this field, stands ready to provide clients with a full-range of legal services relating the digital landscape, including but not limited to: 

E-Commerce: Businesses of all sizes increasingly depend on their branded websites or third-party online platforms to connect with customers, market products, and enhance brand visibility. In line with other jurisdictions, Türkiye has introduced various regulations, most importantly the Law on the Regulation of Electronic Commerce (E-Commerce Law), to govern e-commerce. We assist clients on all aspects of e-commerce, including; 

• Ensuring full compliance with E-Commerce Law and its secondary legislations; 
• Drafting or reviewing terms and conditions for online sales or intermediation, in a way to ensure their compliance with consumer protection law and other relevant legislation;  
• Advising on data privacy and security matters, including GDPR compliance, data breach response, data transfer agreements and cybersecurity,  
• Advising on contracts and regulatory matters concerning e-payments and other fintech transactions. 

Other Regulatory Compliance: Besides the E-Commerce Law, Türkiye has enacted other regulations that specifically address internet activities, notably the Internet Law (Law No. 5651) and legislation related to information and communications technologies. These regulations are comprehensive, governing various facets of online activities including content regulation, data protection, cybersecurity, and telecommunications. We advise clients on ensuring compliance with those regulations and also assist them in invoking legal remedies or rights provided thereunder. 

Online Advertising: Online advertising relies on a complex web of transactions that occur within seconds among various participants such as advertisers, publishers, ad networks, and technology platforms. We frequently help foreign or local clients in drafting or reviewing contracts between publishers and Supply Side Platforms (SSPs) or between advertisers or agencies and Demand Side Platforms (DSPs), ensuring their compliance with Turkish law.
