IT & Internet Law

IT & Internet Law covers offences committed in the digital world, personal data protection, e-commerce law, cybersecurity, social media law and online legal disputes. In Türkiye, this field is regulated within the framework of Laws Nos. 5651 and 6698 and provides legal remedies for cybercrime, data breaches and violations of rights online. An IT law lawyer provides advice and litigation support for legal problems arising in the digital environment, protecting the rights of individuals and companies.

The Turkish term “bilişim” combines the concepts of information and communication. This field of law brings electronic file sharing and communication within the scope of legislation and provides sanctions for unlawful conduct. It also seeks to prevent abuse and illegal activities in technological and information environments.

This field encompasses several branches of law. For example, the nature and terms of contracts concluded electronically fall within the law of obligations, while the use of software falls within intellectual property law. IT law is therefore not contained in a single statute; its rules are found across several legislative instruments.
