Attorney fees cannot fall below the minimum fee tariff published annually by the Union of Turkish Bar Associations (UTBA). The 2025 tariff sets the nationwide floor; any higher fees are freely negotiated between lawyer and client.
Local bars such as Antalya Bar may publish non-binding recommended ranges based on regional conditions. These are advisory only; the binding floor remains the UTBA tariff. See details: Minimum Attorney Fee Schedule 2025.
Fees depend on the type, scope and workload of the dispute. For example, uncontested divorce cases usually require less effort compared to contested divorce. Inheritance or real estate disputes may involve inspections or experts, affecting costs.
