Legal Tools and Document Checklists
Use practical document, deadline and remote-instruction checklists before requesting an assessment of a legal matter in Turkey.
These practical checklists help international clients organise documents before contacting the office. They are informational and do not calculate a final deadline or legal entitlement.
Document preparation checklist
Prepare a clear timeline, contracts, invoices, payment records, court or enforcement documents, correspondence and the identity details of the parties.
Remote instruction checklist
State where you are located, whether an original document is available and whether notarisation, apostille, sworn translation or a power of attorney may be required.
Urgent deadline check
If a notice, judgment, payment order, detention or removal decision has been served, include the exact service date. Do not rely on this page to calculate a procedural deadline.

Business Day Calculator
This tool uses the working calculation module maintained for Turkish law. Results are indicative; current rates, limits, dates and file-specific facts must be verified.
Calculation of Business Days
Count the Monday-Friday days between the two dates; include or subtract the start and end days, and specify special holiday dates separately.
How is a working day calculated?
The tool separates Saturdays and Sundays within the selected date range. If the user's specified special holiday dates fall on weekdays, these are also deducted from the total number of working days.
It is the total number of days, including the start and end dates, according to the selection.
Saturdays and Sundays are not counted as working days by default.
Additional exclusions can be made by entering a date on each line.
Is it the same as the legal period?
No. If a regulation says "days," it often refers to calendar days; if it explicitly says "working days," it refers to working days. The specific provision to be applied must be checked.
Frequently asked questions
Are public holidays automatically deducted?
No. To prevent incorrect application of holidays that vary by year, the user adds a custom date to the date field.
Is Saturday considered a working day?
Vehicles are not included; however, if the workplace or special arrangement is different, the result must be evaluated separately.
