At OZpartners, we are dedicated to supporting individuals and communities navigating the complexities of global citizenship. Our commitment includes providing pro bono legal assistance to refugees, marginalized groups, and individuals facing discrimination. These efforts are guided by our adherence to the ethical standards of the legal profession.
Pro Bono Commitment
We aim to make justice accessible to all, offering pro bono legal services to individuals in financial hardship, refugees, and those experiencing discrimination. These services include assistance with citizenship applications, residency permits, asylum cases, and legal defense against human rights violations. While providing these services, we strictly comply with the ethical and professional standards outlined by the Turkish Attorneyship Law.
Legal Framework in Turkey
In Turkey, pro bono legal assistance is governed by Article 164/4 of the Attorneyship Law, which stipulates that attorneys cannot agree to represent clients below the minimum fee schedule or for free without notifying the relevant bar association. At OZpartners, we act in accordance with this rule, notifying the bar association as required and ensuring our services meet professional and ethical obligations.
