How long does a lawsuit take?

The duration of a lawsuit varies according to the nature of the dispute, the court's caseload, and the appeal (istinaf) and cassation (temyiz) stages. It is not possible to commit to a definite timeframe; however, we carry out the procedural preparation that will accelerate the process from the very outset.
