Law that protects commercial objectives in the Media & Press sector.
Content, freedom of expression, reputation, advertising, copyright, data and dispute advisory for media, publishing and press organisations. RTÜK licensing, access-blocking and takedown orders under Law No. 5651, copyright claims under the FSEK, and reply and personality-rights litigation directly affect the flow of publication.
The applicable legal framework in the Media & Press sector
The media and press sector operates in the delicate balance of speed, reputation, freedom of expression, personal rights, advertising, copyright and data protection. The speed of legal response must match the editorial rhythm.
We provide advisory to media organisations and brands in right-of-reply, access blocking, personal rights, copyright, advertising and sponsorship contracts, KVKK, employee relations and crisis communication processes.
