Oran Partners Law Firm is an Istanbul-based law firm combining extensive litigation experience in medical malpractice and healthcare law with legal advisory and representation services in international disputes. Drawing on the experience gained across hundreds of cases, the firm adopts a service approach attentive to the legal, linguistic and practical challenges faced by clients seeking legal remedies outside their home countries.

Disputes arising from medical interventions and healthcare services are central to Oran Partners’ practice. The firm represents patients and affected family members in disputes concerning aesthetic, plastic and reconstructive surgery, dentistry, hair transplantation, eye treatments, in vitro fertilisation, pregnancy and childbirth, and other medical interventions. Each matter is assessed comprehensively in terms of medical malpractice, informed consent, the fulfilment of promised services, postoperative care, patient safety, and the responsibilities of healthcare providers and intermediary organisations.

Oran Partners’ approach is founded on a legal strategy tailored to the particular circumstances of each case and meticulous evidential preparation. Treatment histories, medical records, correspondence between the parties, payment documents, photographs and expert assessments are examined together. The firm’s accumulated experience supports the legal analysis of complex medical circumstances, the identification of the respective parties’ responsibilities and the detailed scrutiny of expert reports.

In serving international clients, particular emphasis is placed on explaining Turkish legal procedures clearly and enabling clients to participate effectively in the process. Every stage is managed in a coordinated manner, from the initial assessment and pre-action discussions to mediation, litigation and enforcement. Documents obtained abroad, translations, powers of attorney and evidence located in different countries are handled according to the requirements of each case.

The firm’s international service approach addresses the Türkiye-related legal needs of individuals and legal entities based in various countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Greece, Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein and Malta. In matters involving more than one legal system, any necessary foreign-law advice and local representation are coordinated with legal professionals in the relevant jurisdictions.

Confidentiality, accessibility, professional diligence and clear communication underpin Oran Partners’ approach to client service. The firm applies the same standards of privacy and individual attention to every client. Its guiding principles are to ensure that clients clearly understand their legal position, available options and potential risks; receive timely information about significant developments; and make informed decisions.
