Since 2010, at the end of each year we compiled the articles that are posted monthly on our website in a book to allow our readers an outlook on the year's key legal developments. This book of articles now published for the eighth year, has attracted growing attention from our clients, business partners and fellow practitioners over the years. We continued the tradition of the past years for this publication of Newsletter 2017. In 2017, our team wrote on a wide variety of legal disciplines some of which are in new areas of law developed in parallel to meet the needs of the today's business. Further we did not leave out the importance of comparative law and our team researched on the developments in foreign legislations including the European Union.(ÖNSÖZDEN)
