This article aims to provide clarification for one of the most
asked questions about the Turkish litigation system: Official
Attorney Fees. This particular fee often causes confusion,
especially for non-Turkish rights-holders. This is a valid
confusion, because when this fee is demanded from the
rights-holder, the rights-holder usually have paid or determined a
fee with their own attorney, hence the confusion. It is important
to note that, the particular fee which is agreed with the client
and their attorney is not at all relevant to the official attorney
fee. Another important note before going forward with information
about the attorney fees is that, within this article, official
attorney fees will be examined in terms of IP litigation. It is
important to note that since different fields of law has different
regulations for official attorney fee.
