Clear answers to the questions on your mind.

A decision to pay carries serious risks in terms of sanctions lists, anti-money-laundering legislation, and insurance policy terms. The decision should not be taken alone; it should be documented with a legal assessment.

On its own it is rarely sufficient; steps such as communicating targets, evaluation, obtaining the employee’s defence, and providing an opportunity to improve must be documented. We build your performance management process robustly enough to support a termination.

No — they must be tied into the consent flow and generate a record for every order. The log of the "I have read and accept" checkbox is the first piece of evidence requested in a dispute.

No — it depends on profit repatriation, loss offsetting, and exit scenarios. The decision should be made by looking at the ten-year cash flow, not a single rate.

Yes, when it is built to scale. The point of a compliance programme is not to generate bureaucracy but to manage the risks the company is actually exposed to. For an SME, instead of the comprehensive structures large companies run, a lean set-up is usually enough: a few critical policies, short and practical training, and one clear channel for reports and complaints.There is a point that decides the question, though. Some obligations apply regardless of how big the company is — the Personal Data Protection Law (No…

After the initial transition period, the card offers the prospect of an indefinite right; monitoring the obligations that apply during that period is critical. We manage the timeline and the reporting.

A comprehensive AI law is not yet in force; studies and drafts are on the agenda, and at present the KVKK, the TKHK (Turkish Consumer Protection Law), and sector-specific rules apply. We track developments on our Legislation Radar and are already positioning companies in line with the EU framework.

There is no minimum capital requirement aimed at foreign investors as such: the Foreign Direct Investment Law (No. 4875) puts a foreign investor on the same footing as a domestic one. The only floor is the statutory minimum every company has to meet under the Turkish Commercial Code (No. 6102) — TRY 50,000 for a limited liability company (Ltd. Şti.), TRY 250,000 for a joint-stock company (A.Ş.), and TRY 500,000 initial capital where a non-public joint-stock company opts into the registered-capital system (as of Ju…

Yes — the 2023 reform expanded the routes based on substantial professional experience; for IT specialists, an experience-based Blue Card is possible instead of a degree. We choose the strongest route through a profile analysis.

The reserved share is mandatory law; however, with renunciation agreements, insurance solutions, and balanced inter vivos transfers, the plan can be structured in line with the reserved share.

Türkiye has no dedicated franchise statute; the relationship is governed by contract, trademark and competition rules. This does not reduce the importance of the contract — it increases it.

Explicit consent survives in a limited form among the incidental cases; for continuous flows, however, an appropriate safeguard (such as the standard contract) is essential. Legacy consent-based arrangements should be…

On enterprise plans, data and DPA addenda are often open to negotiation; the points that are not can be offset through internal policy and usage architecture (which data goes in).

Not for critical processes — the damage potential is many times the fee. Balance is struck through tiered caps, insurance requirements, and human-approval thresholds.

A seller who wants a fast, predictable closing prefers a locked box; a buyer who wants the current financial reality prefers completion accounts. The choice is determined by data quality and bargaining power.

You should move from one-off complaints to a repeat-infringer strategy: seller-based tracking, requests for account sanctions from the platform, and court action against the major sellers. With a monitoring subscription, new listings are caught early.

Through a single incident narrative and a single document inventory: the information given to each authority must be consistent with the others. Cross-risk analysis (the effect of what is given to one authority on another) is essential.

Take an opinion on any decision whose consequences are hard to reverse or expensive to get wrong. In practice the recurring ones are high-value or long-term contracts, whether a new business model or product complies with the legislation, company acquisitions and restructurings, tax and regulatory choices, and decisions where directors and board members may carry personal liability.A written opinion does two things at once. It sets out the options and the risks on the record so that you can take the decision prope…

This is the most frequent source of tension. With voting-privileged shares, a separation of profit and management, purchase options and equalisation payments, structures can be built that fairly reflect both work and ownership. We refine the options by negotiating them within the family.

Save the notice stating the reason and do not send a panicked appeal. Diagnosing the root cause and appealing with a single, complete action plan is far more effective than a string of weak appeals —…

In most fraud matters this is not an either/or. The two routes work better together and in step. The criminal route rests on the offence of fraud in the Turkish Criminal Code (No. 5237); the prosecutor’s investigation makes evidence easier to reach and puts real pressure on the other side. The civil route aims at actually recovering your loss, through a damages claim under the tort provisions of the Turkish Code of Obligations (No. 6098) and the instruments of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law; obtaining a prelim…

The Act does not bind you directly; but your German customers pass their own obligations on to you by contract. The programme is the infrastructure for meeting these demands without losing orders and without taking on disproportionate commitments.

The key personnel framework is tied to specific company conditions; in smaller structures, a Turquoise Card or a well-structured standard permit may be more realistic. We clarify this with an analysis.

Start with an inventory rather than a scanner. Instead of digitising a scattered archive all at once, the existing contracts are gathered, classified by type, and their critical fields — the parties, the subject matter, the term, the renewal date, the value, the termination condition — turned into structured data.Then a set of standard templates and a drafting-and-approval flow is put in place for new contracts, so the archive keeps its order as it grows instead of losing it again. The sequence follows risk: high-…
