Website advertising rules for lawyers in Türkiye
Lawyers answer to their regulator's advertising and conduct rules as well as to privacy law. This is what Avukatlık Kanunu art. 55 and TBB Reklam Yasağı Yönetmeliği (lawyer advertising ban) means for your website: testimonials, claims, fees, titles and the details you must show. It applies only to sites of that profession, and only where you are licensed. For the general laws every site in Türkiye must follow, see Türkiye's laws.
