How we prepare the guides
The Vekilaw Editorial Team writes the guides. Legal information is compared at publication with the current texts on mevzuat.gov.tr and resmigazete.gov.tr, the official Turkish legislation and Official Gazette sites, and article numbers are given with a source link in every guide. The guides are for information only; in a concrete dispute the current legislation prevails. You can meet the team behind Vekilaw on the about page.
