Health Law is a multidisciplinary branch of law that addresses the legal relationships arising during the provision of healthcare services, the rights of patients and physicians, the responsibilities of healthcare institutions, and administrative regulations in the healthcare field. This sensitive area, where medical science and legal rules intersect, aims both to protect the fundamental right to life and health of individuals and to ensure that healthcare providers operate within a legal framework. Disputes arising from healthcare services require special expertise and attention, as they necessitate technical medical knowledge and can lead to serious consequences.

Our goal is to ensure the protection of patient rights, to support healthcare professionals and institutions in their legal processes, and to bring any emerging disputes to a just resolution.
