From international arbitration and maritime law to corporate M&A, data protection, and employment — our practice covers all major areas of Turkish and international commercial law.
We provide comprehensive legal advisory to domestic and foreign companies, corporate groups, strategic and financial investors, and funds across all areas of corporate and commercial law. Our advisory covers the full spectrum from daily operations to strategic decisions — with a focus on foreseeing legal risks and ensuring corporate continuity. Services include company formation and subsidiary structuring in Türkiye, foreign company branch and liaison office establishment, and the structuring of commercial partnerships.
M&A transactions are multi-layered legal processes through which companies realize their growth, restructuring, and strategic positioning goals. These transactions require a holistic approach encompassing corporate structure, shareholder relations, regulatory obligations, and risk management. We advise domestic and foreign investors and target companies at all stages of M&A transactions — from pre-transaction legal due diligence and legal structuring through to closing and post-transaction integration.
Capital markets transactions represent not only a means of financing for companies, but also a structural transformation in terms of transparency, corporate governance, and investor confidence. We approach capital markets legal processes in alignment with companies’ commercial objectives and corporate structures. In the pre-IPO period, we provide legal advisory to bring companies’ legal infrastructure into compliance with capital markets legislation and to structure the process in a predictable manner from start to finish.
Legal structuring in the start-up ecosystem is one of the fundamental factors that directly affects a company’s investability, scalability, and sustainable growth from an early stage. The dynamic environment in which start-ups operate requires flexible solutions that also provide legal certainty. We advise entrepreneurs and investors on the creation of legal structures suited to innovative business models — from company formation through to investment rounds and exit processes.
Maritime trade law is a specialized field that regulates relationships relating to maritime transport — forming a significant share of both national and international trade. Disputes arising in this area often involve multiple legal systems and international conventions, making expert management of the process essential. We provide comprehensive legal advisory and representation to clients in legal relationships and disputes arising from maritime trade — from the establishment of carriage relationships through to dispute resolution.
Dispute resolution is a multi-dimensional process requiring not only recourse to judicial bodies, but also the identification of the most appropriate resolution method according to the nature of the dispute, the parties’ legal and commercial interests, and the likely effects of the process. The legal strategy pursued directly influences not only the outcome but also the effective management of the entire process. We provide legal support to clients in both private law and public law disputes through judicial and non-judicial dispute resolution routes.
Enforcement and bankruptcy law requires a careful balance between creditor and debtor interests and a practice-oriented approach. The effective management of these processes ensures predictable and sustainable legal outcomes. We provide legal support to clients from both creditor and debtor perspectives — covering enforcement proceedings, debt restructuring, and concordat proceedings. In concordat processes, we assess debtors’ financial positions, prepare the concordat project, follow up on provisional and definitive stay proceedings, and structure creditor–debtor relationships.
Arbitration and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms offer effective resolution of commercial disputes in a faster, confidential, and expertise-based manner. Particularly in national and international commercial relationships, parties’ preference for arbitration over litigation provides flexibility and predictability in the dispute resolution process. We provide legal advisory and representation to clients — determining the most appropriate arbitration route according to the nature of the dispute and managing the process in a strategic manner.
An effective and sustainable employment law advisory approach requires not only regulatory compliance but also the establishment of balanced, predictable, and risk-aware human resources practices. The proper structuring of employer–employee relationships is of great importance in preventing future disputes before they arise. We approach employment law advisory within a preventive legal framework — supporting companies across processes from daily HR practices through to strategic decisions.
Personal data protection obligations have become a compliance area that directly affects not only the legal but also the operational, managerial, and reputational risks of companies. Compliance with data protection legislation has a broad sphere of influence — from companies’ internal organization to contractual relationships with third parties. We approach data protection and compliance processes in alignment with companies’ areas of activity, organizational structures, and data processing practices.
Tax and customs law is a field that directly affects corporate activities through extensive compliance obligations and potentially significant financial consequences. Legal processes in this area require not only knowledge of legislation but also the joint assessment of administrative practices and judicial precedents. We provide clients with a holistic advisory approach focused on the anticipation and management of legal risks in tax and customs matters — covering the full spectrum from compliance through to dispute resolution.
We provide comprehensive legal advisory to foreign nationals on citizenship, residence permits, and work permit matters. Our services cover the full application and appeal process — from pre-application assessment to judicial recourse in the event of rejection.
