Brokerage Agreement

"When is the broker entitled to their fee?"

Quick Answer

A contract where the broker undertakes to provide an opportunity or mediate for the establishment of a contract between parties, earning a fee if the contract is successfully formed (e.g., real estate agent agreements).

Legal Framework in Turkey

Brokerage Agreement is governed primarily by the Turkish Code of Obligations No. 6098, which provides comprehensive rules for contractual relationships. Understanding these provisions is essential for drafting enforceable agreements.

Key Points to Remember

  • Turkish Code of Obligations applies to most commercial contracts
  • Freedom of contract is a fundamental principle, with some mandatory provisions
  • Written form may be required for certain agreements
  • Choice of law clauses are generally respected for international contracts

Drafting Considerations

When drafting contracts involving brokerage agreement, attention should be paid to Turkish-specific requirements and practices. Bilingual contracts (English-Turkish) are common for international transactions.

Including appropriate dispute resolution mechanisms, clear governing law provisions, and well-defined obligations helps prevent future conflicts and ensures enforceability.
