Clear answers to the questions on your mind.

Yes; as a user (deployer) you also face obligations such as use in line with the instructions, human oversight, the suitability of input data, record-keeping and, in certain cases, an impact assessment. For systems used in HR, credit or similarly sensitive areas, we set up your usage framework accordingly.

Largely yes, if structured correctly; however, mutual termination agreements that do not provide a reasonable benefit or that are signed under pressure may be held invalid. We prepare the mutual termination package in line with the criteria required by case law.

With the right coverage, yes; but policies are tied to conditions such as notification deadlines and security undertakings, and coverage can be denied if these are breached. We test your policy against incident scenarios and pursue your rights through the claims process.

Directly, it binds only structures that provide services or have a subsidiary in the EU; however, EU customers pass supply-chain security obligations on to you by contract. We negotiate the incoming security requirements and pass them on to your subcontractors in a balanced way.

Yes; German buyers may screen out non-compliant suppliers because of their own legal risks. Compliance is the insurance of your customer relationship in the DACH market — its cost is small compared with a single lost annual contract.

If you offer connected (IoT) products or related digital services, or use cloud/data services in the EU, you are likely to be affected: provisions on user access to data, sharing with third parties and switching providers must be written into your contracts. We start with a scope analysis and prioritise the necessary revisions.

Unverifiable general claims such as “sustainable” or “carbon neutral” are risky from the standpoint of advertising oversight and unfair competition. In the EU, green-claim rules are tightening. We match your marketing claims with an evidence file.

If the parties' turnovers exceed the thresholds in the communiqué, the acquisition is subject to approval; closing without obtaining approval gives rise to a serious administrative fine. We carry out the threshold analysis early and place the notification within the timetable.

Each country's inheritance and tax regime differs; for shares and real property in Germany, the EU Succession Regulation and local tax rules come into play. On the Türkiye–Germany axis, we set up the planning with instruments valid under both bodies of law.

The inheritance and tax laws of both countries come into play together; a flawed setup creates the risk of double taxation and invalid dispositions. With our Berlin-İstanbul team, we design the plan so that it is valid under both legal systems.

Two questions are decisive: do you sell online to consumers in the EU, and are you outside the micro-enterprise exemption (fewer than 10 employees AND ≤2 M€ turnover)? If you answer “yes” to both, you have been in scope since 28 June 2025; an accessibility statement and EN 301 549 compliance are required.

Under EU rules, the consumer may, as a rule, withdraw within 14 days without giving a reason; who bears the return-shipping cost depends on the prior disclosure. We set up your multilingual return policy in compliance with both Turkish and EU rules.

Double taxation treaties (DTTs), including the Türkiye–Germany treaty, provide reduced rates on dividends, interest and royalties. We activate the treaty's protection through a certificate of tax residency and a proper declaration regime.

Enforcing a Turkish court judgment in Germany may also be an option; in both directions recognition and enforcement turn on the reciprocity condition — Article 54 of the Turkish Act on Private International Law for Türkiye, section 328 of the ZPO for Germany — and are assessed case by case.

German formal demand letters and Mahnverfahren (payment order) proceedings resolve most receivables without litigation; where litigation and enforcement are needed, those steps are taken by our partner firm activelaw in Germany. Our Germany Desk coordinates the file end to end and reports to the Turkish head office in its own language.

Since January 2025, marketplaces in Türkiye have been withholding 1% from the payments they make to sellers (on the gross amount excluding VAT, without deducting commission). This is not a final tax but a creditable advance payment — yet it affects cash flow and pricing; the exemption and offset arrangements should be planned according to your seller type.

Acquiring real property at the qualifying amount, together with a valuation and an undertaking not to sell, turns into an application for exceptional citizenship. We run the title-deed and application stages from a single point, and assess family members within the same plan.

The determining factor is the area of use: Annex III areas such as employment, credit, education, critical infrastructure, and product-safety components give rise to high risk. We determine your system's class through its use scenario and derive the set of obligations.

The first step is an assessment of the seriousness and scope of the report; an investigation plan is then established with rules on confidentiality, segregation of duties, and evidence security. Whistleblower protection and KVKK limits must be designed from the outset — we build this framework from day one.

Türkiye's bilateral investment treaties provide equal treatment, safeguards against expropriation, and access to international arbitration. We structure your shareholding and contractual arrangements so as to activate these protections.

Hosting location, encryption, access roles, and the sub-processor chain must be secured by contract; KVKK rules on cross-border data transfers must also be observed. We negotiate vendor contracts against these criteria.

Once the documents are ready, incorporation can be completed within a few days; apostilled translations of the foreign shareholder's documents, a tax number, and an address are required. We handle the MERSİS and registry processes on your behalf under a power of attorney.

A focused legal DD usually takes a few weeks; the timeline depends on how well the data room is organised. It concentrates on the risks that matter to the decision-maker; we tie the findings to price, conditions, or an indemnification mechanism.

If the documents are ready, registration generally takes a few business days; the real timeline is set by the apostille-translation chain and the banking steps. With a power of attorney issued abroad, we can complete the incorporation before you even arrive.
