Clear answers to the questions on your mind.

A force majeure clause determines what the parties' obligations will be in unforeseeable events such as an epidemic, war, or natural disaster. A well-drafted clause protects the parties from uncertainty and prolonged disputes in a moment of crisis. We structure this provision according to the risks specific to your sector.

The right of termination depends on the termination provisions in the contract, the existence of just cause, and the type of contract. A termination that is not carried out in proper form may create a risk of damages. Before termination, we assess the legal footing and, with correct notice and process, reduce the risk to a minimum.

For your frequently recurring transactions, we prepare legally sound templates tailored to your company. These templates reduce the need to conduct a legal review from scratch for every new contract, speed up your teams' work and provide a consistent standard across the organisation. For critical transactions, we still recommend an individual review.

A branch is a structure that can conduct commercial activity and generate income on behalf of the parent company. A liaison office, by contrast, cannot directly earn commercial income in Türkiye; it is usually established for purposes such as market research, representation, and coordination. We determine together which one suits your objectives.

With case-by-case representation, each issue means a separate file and separate billing. With ongoing counsel, by contrast, you build a lasting relationship with a team that knows your company and meet your day-to-day legal needs without opening a new file each time and at a predictable cost. This model is designed for companies that require speed and continuity.

In arbitration, the dispute is resolved before arbitrators chosen by the parties rather than the state courts. The process is generally confidential, draws on specialist expertise, and the resulting award is more easily enforced at the international level.

Arbitration requires the parties' intention to that effect. This intention is usually expressed through an arbitration clause included in the contract or a separate arbitration agreement. Drafting the clause correctly is critical to the soundness of the process.

Liability limits, the insurance obligation, delivery conditions, penalties for delay, the applicable law and the competent court are the critical clauses of a carriage contract. Standard pre-printed contracts are often in the carrier's favour. We review and negotiate the contract in a way that protects your position.

In insurance compensation claims, the limitation period varies according to the type of insurance, and missing it leads to the loss of your rights. When the period starts to run is also a critical legal assessment. We review your file without delay and safeguard your claim by managing the limitation risk.

Who will represent the company, within what scope, and with what form of signature is determined by a resolution of the management body and registered with the trade registry. The signature circular documents this authority. Because delay in registering changes to this authority may affect the validity of transactions, we monitor the registration process meticulously.

We advise on the drafting and negotiation of commercial contracts, transactions between companies, distributorship and supply relationships, the collection of receivables, and the resolution of commercial disputes. The goal is to bring your commercial objectives to life in a legally enforceable and de-risked manner.

Depending on the nature of the receivable, negotiable-instrument enforcement based on a promissory note or cheque, enforcement without a judgment, or the litigation route is chosen. If you hold a strong document, negotiable-instrument enforcement produces results much faster. We assess your file and initiate the proceedings by identifying the route that will secure collection in the shortest time.

For a significant portion of commercial debt and compensation lawsuits, mediation is a mandatory precondition for litigation; that is, an application to a mediator must have been made before filing suit. We plan the process as a whole, taking this requirement into account too.

In Türkiye, mediation is a precondition to filing suit in many commercial cases. If confidentiality and speed are important, mediation or arbitration may be more suitable; if a precedent-setting decision is needed, litigation may be more appropriate. We determine the most strategic path together, according to the nature of the matter.

Taxpayers that transact with related parties must document those transactions in accordance with the arm's length principle. Incomplete documentation creates the risk of a penalised assessment. We prepare a transfer pricing policy and documentation set suited to your intra-group transactions.

In a conversion of company type, the company transforms into another company type — for example, from a limited liability company into a joint-stock company — while preserving its legal personality. In a division, the company's assets and operations are transferred, in whole or in part, to other companies. Both are transactions governed by Law No. 6102 (Turkish Commercial Code) and serve different purposes.

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.

The suitable structure varies according to the size of the investment, the field of activity, and the investor's objectives. An independent capital company, a branch, or a liaison office intended solely for representation each meets different needs. We assess the legal and tax consequences of each option and determine the most suitable model for you together.

Yes. As a rule, foreign nationals need a work permit in order to work legally in Türkiye, and the application is made through the employer. The work permit also serves in place of a residence permit. Working without a permit creates the risk of an administrative fine and deportation for both the employee and the employer.

Foreign natural or legal persons may establish a company under the same conditions as Turkish citizens. Incorporating a joint-stock or limited liability company involves drafting the articles of association, subscribing capital, registering with the trade registry, and completing tax registration. We run the process end to end and structure the shareholding arrangement according to your objectives.

Ongoing counsel is generally provided on the basis of a fixed monthly retainer. The fee is set at the outset, taking into account your company's size, sector, and expected workload. This way, the cost of legal support becomes a predictable line item in your budget.

Compliance is not a one-off goal but a process that requires continuity. Legislation changes, the company's operations expand and new risks emerge. For this reason, we review the programme at regular intervals and adapt it to current regulations and to your company's evolving needs.

No. Policies that remain only on paper provide no protection during an audit. An effective programme includes, alongside written policies, internal control mechanisms, allocation of responsibilities, employee training and regular monitoring. Our aim is to turn compliance into a workable system embedded in day-to-day operations.

Yes. Due to their own legal risks, German clients may cease working with non-compliant suppliers or reduce their orders. Compliance is not merely an obligation; it safeguards your commercial relationship and competitiveness in the DACH market.
