Labor Law 101: Safeguarding Your Interests
Labor is a broad field that includes any rules governing the worker-employer relationship, from employment contracts to workplace safety to wage-and-hour issues. With rapid changes in employment settings from office work to gig jobs, it’s important for employees and employers to understand their rights and responsibilities under the law. At Özer Law Office, we believe knowledge and preparation are the keys to protecting our clients’ best interests and creating just and respectful workplaces.
Disputes Between Employees and Employers: Expert Legal Consultancy
Employment disputes between a worker and their place of work may arise from contract disagreements (breach of contract/contractual claims), an alleged unfair dismissal, claims of workplace bullying, illegal discrimination or sexually degrading treatment, non-payment of wages, or changes in the conditions of work. Such issues often require intervention by a professional to ensure rights are properly asserted, and fair outcomes reached. Our lawyers at Özer Law Office view each dispute individually with sensitivity and determination, providing tailor-made representations and legal advice that take full account of the circumstances of all clients involved.
Our employment lawyers handle:
- Termination of employment issues
- Severance pay disputes
- Wage recovery and overtime payment claims
- Workplace bullying, harassment and discrimination
- Disciplinary warnings/reprimands & suspensions
- Employment contract disputes
- Job description disputes/disagreement
While encouraging resolution from the outset through negotiated resolution and conciliation, including offers of mutual separation compensation in accordance with Mediterranean culture, we are more than ready and able to fight for your rights in Court if litigation cannot be avoided.
Compensation Claims: Getting What You Deserve
Job-related accidents, occupational diseases, injuries or conditions can have serious, long-term effects on the life of an employee and the well-being of their family as well. Employers also have legal obligations to ensure a safe workplace and compensate employees for work-related injuries. Our law office works with you to help you navigate the sometimes-challenging claims process for seeking compensation so that you can get the financial and medical relief you need.
Services include:
- Pursuing claims for job-related injury or illnesses
- Negotiating settlements with employers or insurers
- Seeking compensation to cover lost wages, medical treatment and rehabilitation
- Representing clients in disputes over denial or underpayment of a claim
By ensuring you understand your rights and options under the applicable labor and social security laws and leveraging your knowledge of local customs and practices, we ensure maximum opportunity to reach a favorable settlement or verdict in court.

What Makes Özer Law Office Stand Out?
Choosing the right attorney is a key factor in labor law cases. Özer Law Office has several advantages:
- Expertise: Our legal team, led by Attorney Uğur Özer and Attorney Esra Sarı, has extensive experience in labor law and compensation cases.
- Integrity: We work with honesty and transparency while maintaining a strict code of ethics.
- Complete Service: We provide support at every step from consultation to litigation.

Fee Structure, Engagement Model, and Transparency
Our fee policy is clear and transparent. The fees of legal services are determined upon mutual agreement with the client; in the absence of a specific contract, statutory fees are applied. The fee is applicable until the conclusion of your case and covers all procedures. Court fees and related expenses (expert fees, travel expenses, etc.) are separate from the fee, paid by the client. Note that the attorney fee is a fee for professional service and has a legal obligation on its own once the service is delivered. In case of attorney change or if the case does not result in favor, the fee is not refundable. It is important to note that hiring an attorney is not mandatory by Turkish law; however, it is highly advised and stands out as the best way to exercise your rights and achieve optimum results.
