Below you will find an expanded overview of our core practice areas, each anchored in Administrative Law best-practice and optimised for the most relevant search intents in 2025.
Expropriation Lawsuits: Protecting Property Rights in the Public Interest
When the state seeks to acquire immovable property for highways, urban-transformation projects or energy corridors, we ensure that expropriation procedures comply with statutory notice periods, valuation methods and compensation rules. Our Administrative Law attorneys file annulment actions against irregular expropriation decisions, challenge deficient market valuations, and pursue full compensation before the Council of State and regional courts of first instance.
Disciplinary Penalties and Civil-Service Dismissals
Civil servants facing reprimands, salary cuts or dismissal often have limited time to appeal. We prepare robust objections, demand the cancellation of unlawful disciplinary decisions, and represent clients in Administrative Law courts to reinstate employment or recover lost earnings.
Police Academy Interview & Health Disputes
Admission to the Police Academy involves stringent health checks and oral interviews. Our lawyers contest exam irregularities, discriminatory scoring and medical-board rejections, ensuring transparent and merit-based recruitment in line with Administrative Law principles.
Dismissal and Suspension under Decree Law No 375
Public officers removed or suspended through emergency decrees can seek judicial review. We compile evidence, highlight procedural breaches, and seek reinstatement plus moral-material damages.
Transfer and Appointment Litigation
Unwarranted relocations disrupt careers and family life. We challenge arbitrary transfer orders, external appointments and promotion denials, focusing on legitimate expectation and proportionality tests central to Administrative Law.
Full-Jurisdiction Compensation Claims
When defective administrative acts cause financial loss or personal injury, our team pursues full-jurisdiction (tam yargı) actions to recover damages. We gather expert reports, calculate pecuniary-non-pecuniary loss, and litigate against ministries, municipalities and regulatory agencies.
Zoning, Licensing and Building Permit Lawsuits
From green-field developments to urban regeneration, zoning plans must respect planning hierarchy and public participation rules. We file annulment actions against unlawful zoning decisions, stop demolition orders, and obtain building permits through court intervention where necessary.
Public Procurement Law and Tender Objections
Whether you are a bidder or a contracting authority, compliance with Public Procurement Law is crucial. We lodge timely EKAP objections, challenge disqualifications, and defend award decisions before the Public Procurement Board and Administrative courts.
Health-Related Dismissals
Students or employees dismissed for alleged health issues deserve fair process. We work with medical experts to contest biased health reports, secure reinstatement, and claim compensation under Administrative Law guidelines.
Energy and Mining Administrative Disputes
Exploration licences, environmental permits and royalty calculations in energy-mining projects often spark high-value administrative lawsuits. Our lawyers combine sector knowledge with Administrative Law advocacy to safeguard client investments and community interests.

What is administrative law?
Administrative law regulates how government bodies exercise authority, make decisions, and provide public services. It sets the legal limits on state power, safeguards constitutional rights, and offers citizens judicial review when agencies act unlawfully. Issues include permits, public tenders, zoning plans, expropriation, tax disputes, disciplinary measures, plus oversight of police actions and social benefits.
Why should I hire an administrative law attorney?
An experienced administrative law attorney helps you navigate strict procedural deadlines, collects persuasive evidence, drafts appeals that cite the right statutes, and represents you before administrative courts or higher councils. Skilled counsel maximises the chance of annulment, compensation, or reinstatement, and shields you from costly procedural errors that could bar judicial review of your case.
How long do I have to file an annulment action?
You normally have sixty days from the date you were officially notified of an administrative act to file an annulment action before the competent administrative court. Missing this statutory window may render the decision final. Special rules apply to tax disputes, public procurement objections, and emergency decrees, so consult counsel promptly to protect your rights.
How is expropriation compensation calculated?
Compensation in expropriation cases must equal the fair market value of the property on the date of valuation, reflecting location, zoning status, comparable sales, and potential future income. If the initial offer is too low, you can file a valuation lawsuit and request interest, expert appraisal costs, and litigation expenses from the administration in court.
Can I appeal disciplinary penalties or dismissal?
Disciplinary penalties can be challenged by filing an objection with the hierarchical superior within seven days, followed by an annulment action if the administration rejects or remains silent. Successful challenges can overturn reprimands, salary cuts, or dismissals, restore seniority, and grant back pay, protecting your career and pension rights under administrative court and appeal review.
What is a full-jurisdiction (tam yargı) lawsuit?
A full jurisdiction lawsuit seeks monetary compensation for damages caused by unlawful administrative acts or omissions. Plaintiffs must prove fault, causal link, and quantifiable loss. Typical claims include injuries from poorly maintained public infrastructure, business losses from illegal closures, or moral damages from defamation by officials before administrative courts and the Council of State panels.
How long do administrative court cases take?
Administrative court proceedings generally last twelve to eighteen months at first instance, depending on case complexity, expert reports, and court workload. Appeals to regional courts of appeal add around six months, while final review by the Council of State can extend the timeline further. Interim relief may suspend enforcement pending judgment for urgent public interest.
What evidence strengthens an administrative law claim?
Strong administrative law cases rely on timely obtained official notifications, certified copies of contested decisions, correspondence, inspection minutes, expert evaluations, witness statements, and financial records proving harm. Keeping a detailed chronology and responding within statutory deadlines preserves your right to sue and increases the persuasive power of your file before the courts and higher tribunals.
