Contract law
The law of contracts is a branch of law concerned with the regulation and supervision of agreements between two or more parties in order to produce legal results. Today, contracts, which are one of the most important elements of trade and business, have a great importance in every field from personal life to large companies. Especially in big cities such as Izmir, where trade is developing rapidly, the healthy functioning of trade and business life depends on properly regulated contracts. In this article, we will discuss the basic concepts, function and importance of contract law, which is the area of specialization of Senkur Law and Attorney Pelşin Senkur.
Scope of Contract Law
Contract law covers many different types of contracts. Each of these contracts determines the rights, obligations and responsibilities of the parties. In legal systems, the correct regulation of contracts, especially those that form the basis of commerce, is of vital importance in terms of preventing disputes and litigation. Senkur Law and Attorney Pelşin Senkur offers a wide range of consultancy services in Izmir on all kinds of contract drafting and interpretation procedures.
1. Concept and Elements of Contract
A contract is an agreement between two or more parties by a mutual declaration of will, which is intended to give rise to legal consequences. For a contract to be valid, certain elements must be present:
Unity of Will between the Parties: A contract is concluded with the mutual consent of the parties. The wills of the parties must be in harmony.
Legal Purpose: The purpose of the contract must not be against the law. Otherwise, the contract may be deemed invalid.
Validity Conditions: The parties must have legal capacity, the contract must be in writing (if necessary) and there must be a valid reason.
Lack of these elements or incorrect arrangement of the contract may cause the contract to be invalid. For this reason, Senkur Law emphasizes the importance of obtaining legal advice at the contract preparation stage.
2. Types of Contracts
Contracts can be divided into different categories according to the purposes they contain and the relationship of the parties. The most common types of contracts are:
Sales Contract: Contracts involving the payment of a price in return for a good or service. It is a type of contract frequently encountered in commercial life.
Lease Agreement: These are agreements to lease a good for a certain period of time.
Employment Contract: Contracts that regulate the relationship between the employee and the employer.
Service Contract: Contracts where one person undertakes to provide a specific service to another.
License Agreement: Contracts where one person grants another permission to use an intellectual property right.
Collateral Contract: Contracts that regulate the guarantees provided by the debtor for the payment of the debt.
Each type of contract has different legal consequences. Each type of contract therefore has specific terms and requirements.
Legal Validity and Interpretation of Contracts
Contracts not only bind the parties, but can also affect third parties. For this reason, there are many legal regulations that should be considered during the preparation of contracts. A well-drafted contract prevents disputes between the parties and creates a strong legal basis in case of a possible dispute.
The validity of contracts must comply with the law, both in terms of their content and form. In this context, Senkur Law provides legal services in contract drafting, drafting and interpretation, providing reliable advice to its clients in all types of disputes.
1. Convention Interpretation and Application
During the interpretation of contracts, it is necessary to correctly understand the intentions of the parties. If the provisions of the contract are ambiguous, they may be interpreted within the framework of the Turkish Code of Obligations. Here, the written text of the contract is taken into consideration, as well as the ordinary conditions of commercial life within the scope of the contract. The most important factor in contract interpretation is the way in which the parties to the contract wish to agree on the text of the contract.
Senkur Law provides legal assistance in the interpretation and implementation of contracts. In case of disputes, the correct interpretation of the contract ensures that the rights of the parties are protected.
2. Contractual Risks and Legal Assistance
If a contract is drafted incorrectly or incompletely, it can create major problems between the parties. Especially in commercial relations, incorrect drafting of a contract may negatively affect the financial status of the company.
