Clear answers to the questions on your mind.

First, all measures relating to the employee's health must be taken; then the accident must be reported within the statutory period to the SGK (the Turkish Social Security Institution) and, where necessary, to the relevant authorities. Properly preserving the accident site and the evidence is decisive for the subsequent process. Accessing legal support during these critical first hours is important.

The criminal liability of the employer and managers depends on the existence of fault, the OHS measures taken, and documentation. Being able to prove that obligations have been fully fulfilled is the foundation of the defence. Preventive documentation both prevents accidents and protects the employer in a possible prosecution.

Yes. In disputes between employee and employer over employment receivables and reinstatement, applying to mediation before filing suit is a procedural prerequisite for the action. During the mediation process we represent your interests forcefully and, where possible, secure a fast and cost-effective resolution.

Reinstatement risk is managed through the existence of a valid/just cause, the correctness of the termination procedure, and the strength of the documentation. Job security provisions apply to workplaces with thirty or more employees. A legal assessment before termination is the most effective protection.

Yes. A labour inspector's work stoppage decision may be challenged before the administrative court within the statutory period. Speed is critical in this process. We conduct the objection process and, by simultaneously remedying the identified deficiencies, ensure that operations resume as quickly as possible.

Institutions such as ISTAC and ICC are arbitration centres that administer arbitration proceedings under their own rules. Institutional arbitration brings predictability and order to the process; we assess together which centre best suits your dispute.

Appeal (istinaf) and cassation (temyiz) are legal remedies that may be pursued against a first-instance decision. Their availability varies according to the type of decision and the monetary thresholds prescribed by law; we assess your file within this framework.

Matters such as progress payments, extensions of time, price adjustments and termination are frequent areas of dispute in public procurement contracts and are subject to special legislation. We analyse the contract and the performance process; we protect your rights through resolution with the administration or, if necessary, through litigation, and ensure that the work continues.

Yes. A significant part of contract management is reviewing the texts submitted by the other party. We examine the text line by line, flag provisions that are risky or unbalanced for you, and put forward concrete proposed amendments for the negotiation. This way, you know clearly what you are agreeing to before signing.

The landowner is protected through provisions such as the delivery deadline and penalty for delay, the creation of a construction servitude, securities, compliance with zoning and liability for defects. The standard contracts offered by the contractor are often to the landowner's disadvantage. We structure and negotiate the contract so as to secure the landowner's rights.

Personal data is processed in accordance with the KVKK and relevant legislation; you can find details on the Legal Documents page.

Severance pay is calculated on the basis of 30 days' fully-loaded gross wage for each full year of service (subject to the statutory ceiling); notice pay is determined according to the notice periods tied to length of service. We assess the eligibility conditions and the calculation according to the specific situation.

A red flag report is a document that presents the critical risks identified during the review in a summarised and prioritised form. Its purpose is to enable the transaction team to quickly see the most important issues and make decisions. Matters capable of halting the transaction and risks that can be managed in negotiation are shown separately.

Composition gives a debtor that is in financial difficulty but has a prospect of recovery the opportunity to restructure its debts by agreement with creditors and to be protected from enforcement proceedings during the process. The application and the process require meticulous financial and legal preparation; we carry it through from start to finish.

Although the obligation is large in scale, expectations are proportionate. You are generally expected to sign a code of conduct, be able to demonstrate that you comply with basic human rights and environmental standards, and be prepared for client audits. We prepare a compliance package tailored to you and suited to your scale.

When the documents are prepared in full and the required certifications are completed, the registration process can generally be concluded in a short time. The timeline may vary in cases that require foreign document certification, apostille, and translation. By planning the process from the outset, we keep delays to a minimum.

Once the company is established, ongoing obligations relating to the trade registry, tax, social security, and sector-specific legislation come into play. In addition, there may be certain notification and reporting requirements concerning foreign investments. We map out these obligations from the outset and guide the investor throughout the compliance process.

After incorporation, obligations begin such as the certification of statutory books, tax office and SGK (Social Security Institution) procedures, the accounting order and periodic tax-return obligations. Through our corporate secretarial services, we coordinate accounting, payroll, and tax compliance so that your company operates in compliance with the legislation from day one.

Coverage limits, deductibles, exclusions and disclosure obligations determine the policy's true protective value. Incomplete disclosure can lead to a claim being rejected. We review your corporate policies legally so that they align with your operational risk, and audit them before renewal.

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.

Companies that operate in Türkiye and process the data of individuals in Europe may be subject to both KVKK (Turkish Personal Data Protection Law) and GDPR. Although the two regulations are similar in many respects, they also have differences. We map out the overlapping and diverging obligations together, ensuring compliance with both sets of legislation within a single, consistent programme.

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.

Although the LkSG (Germany's Supply Chain Due Diligence Act) imposes obligations directly on large German companies, those companies pass their obligations on to their suppliers through contracts. If you supply a German customer, you will encounter demands relating to codes of conduct, audits, and reporting. Compliance is a condition for maintaining this business relationship.

An application that proceeds smoothly usually results in registration within a few months. Registration provides ten years of protection from the application date and can be renewed indefinitely for successive ten-year periods. With a pre-application similarity search, we minimise the risk of opposition.
