We tie access to roles rather than to individuals: each role can reach only the documents required to do its job. This both strengthens confidentiality and, in the event of a problem, makes oversight easier by keeping who accessed what traceable.

First, we ensure that rights such as code, trademarks, and designs vest in the company rather than in the founders and employees. We establish the chain of assignment and confidentiality through contracts and, where appropriate, consider protection routes such as trademark and design registration.

At the earliest possible stage. When matters such as the type of incorporation, founder shares, and the transfer of intellectual property to the company are structured correctly from the outset, later funding rounds and scaling proceed far more smoothly. Correcting missteps taken early on is more costly afterward.

Tasks that are repetitive, can be reduced to rules, and have defined inputs are the most suitable for automation: routine document generation, approval and signature workflows, compliance checklists, and the like. Steps that require interpretation and strategy remain under the lawyer's control.

We usually start with a data inventory: we map out which personal data is held, for what purpose, where, and for how long. Compliance cannot be achieved without this visibility; the inventory also forms the foundation of the privacy notice, retention, and destruction policies.

For products that process personal data, compliance with the KVKK/Law No. 6698 (Turkish Personal Data Protection Law) and GDPR comes to the fore, along with privacy notices, explicit consent, data processing agreements and cross-border transfer rules. If the product operates in a regulated field, we also assess the relevant sector-specific regulations together with these.

Yes. We generally begin by taking an inventory of existing contracts and classifying them. In this way, digitalisation covers not only new contracts but also the contracts currently in force in your portfolio, which then enter renewal tracking.

Our aim is not to set aside the tools you use, but to build the process around them. Taking your document, signature and storage solutions into account, we design a workflow that is as compatible as possible with your existing setup.

No. By accelerating routine work, automation frees the lawyer's time for value-adding work such as interpretation, negotiation, and strategy. Human oversight is preserved at every step that requires a decision; here technology is a tool, not a substitute.

We design processes with regard to the principles of KVKK/6698 (Turkish Personal Data Protection Law) and GDPR: access to data is tied to authorisation, processing steps are logged, and no unnecessary data is collected. When properly designed, automation does not weaken compliance; on the contrary, it strengthens traceability.

A document's validity derives not from the method of its generation but from its content and the fulfilment of the required conditions. We prepare templates under lawyer supervision and, with tools such as e-signature and KEP (registered electronic mail), structure them to meet the form and approval conditions required by the relevant legislation.

Contracts are commercially sensitive documents. We tie access to authorisation, keep transaction logs, and design the storage arrangement in line with the principles of KVKK/6698 (Turkish Personal Data Protection Law) and GDPR. The aim is to bring easy access and strict confidentiality together within the same system.

CLM is an approach to managing all stages of a contract — from drafting to negotiation, from signing to storage and renewal — within a single system. Its aim is to turn contracts from scattered files into a traceable, auditable process.

Yes. As a team operating along the Türkiye–Germany, Austria, and Switzerland corridor, we provide multilingual support for cross-border incorporation and growth processes. We focus on building a workable structure that takes into account the legal requirements of both sides.

It is possible, but cross-border data transfer is subject to special rules under both the KVKK and GDPR. We design the legal basis for the transfer, the necessary safeguards, and the contractual infrastructure together; and we manage transfers along the Türkiye–DACH corridor in particular in a compliant manner.

We review the term sheet, prepare for the due diligence process, and negotiate the investment agreements with the startup's interests in mind. The goal is to establish a balanced structure that, while accessing capital, preserves the founders' control and keeps the way open for future rounds.

We record the critical dates of each contract and set up advance reminders for upcoming renewals, termination notices, or expiry. This reduces the risks arising from unwanted automatic renewals or missed termination deadlines.
