Information Technology and Telecommunications Law

In today’s world, where digitalization and technology have rapidly integrated into every aspect of life, the information technologies and telecommunications sectors have become indispensable for both individuals and businesses. However, this rapid development also brings with it complex legal processes and multifaceted regulations that require a blend of legal and technical knowledge. At TURKIUS Law, we provide effective, innovative, and sustainable legal solutions with our team of expert lawyers who closely follow the dynamic nature of the technology sector.

As TURKIUS Law, we offer a comprehensive range of legal consultancy services in the field of information technologies and telecommunications. Our services span from software development processes to digital content production, from electronic communication regulations to data security and personal data protection. We possess in-depth expertise in the drafting and negotiation of technically detailed agreements such as software contracts, licensing agreements, Software as a Service (SaaS) models, Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and source code regulations.

In addition, we offer specialized consultancy on legal liabilities of content and hosting providers, compliance with Law No. 5651, and analysis of data controller obligations under KVKK (Turkish Data Protection Law) and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). We develop customized contracts and regulatory strategies for e-commerce platforms, mobile app developers, game studios, and digital media companies.

Within the scope of electronic communications law, we provide legal services on operator licensing, compliance with the regulations of the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK), frequency allocations, infrastructure sharing, and number portability. Ensuring that telecommunications companies act in compliance with sector-specific legislation is essential not only for avoiding administrative sanctions but also for maintaining a competitive edge in the market.

Our services are not limited to Turkey. As TURKIUS Law, we also offer the same high-quality legal consultancy in Switzerland and Germany. We provide strategic legal solutions to multinational tech companies, startups, and investors on cross-border contracts, digital asset protection, structuring of international license agreements, and legal risk analysis in tech investment projects.

We are capable of delivering solutions on emerging legal issues such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence applications, big data, blockchain, and crypto asset regulations—both locally and globally.
