Is a verbal service contract with a Turkish contractor binding if there is no written agreement?

In Turkey
Last Updated: Dec 5, 2025
I hired a contractor in Turkey and we agreed verbally on the scope and payment, but there is no signed contract. If a dispute arises, can I enforce the terms and what kind of evidence is required under Turkish law? Do I need an attorney to draft a written agreement to protect myself?

To my view you need to sign both contracting agreement and arbitration agreement. Feel free to reach out through either messaging/calling below number on whatsapp or send e-mail.

There is no legally binding rule to argue the validity of verbal contract before third parties. So we strongly suggest a writte contract for the best interests and promotion of your rights.
