Yes; the Turkish Commercial Code sets out provisions for the protection of creditors in transactions such as conversion of company type, division, and capital reduction. Certain notification, announcement, and security mechanisms may come into play in these transactions. As we design the process, we take these protective rules into account from the outset and ensure compliance.
Türkiye offers various incentive mechanisms depending on the sector, region, and scale of the investment. To benefit from these supports, the investment must be documented within the appropriate scope and the necessary applications must be made. We assess which incentives your investment qualifies for and guide you through the application process.
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.
The bilateral agreements on the reciprocal promotion and protection of investments that Türkiye has signed with numerous countries provide protections such as safeguards against expropriation, equal treatment, and recourse to international arbitration. We structure your investment so that it benefits optimally from these safeguards.
Depending on the region, sector and size of the investment, incentives such as customs and VAT exemptions, tax reductions, social-security (SGK) premium support, and interest-rate support are possible. We manage the investment incentive certificate process and structure the arrangement that will provide the greatest benefit to your project.
As a rule, the source code of software is protected by copyright (as a work); this protection arises automatically, without registration. A technical invention in which the software is applied may, under certain conditions, be patentable. We determine the most effective protection together, according to the nature of your product.
The YEKA (Renewable Energy Resource Areas) model is aimed at large-scale, publicly sourced projects allocated through competitive tender. Unlicensed generation, on the other hand, is suitable for smaller-scale projects based on self-consumption. Together we assess the model best suited to your investment objective.
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.
Many contracts renew automatically at the end of their term, or extend unintentionally when a specific notice period is missed. Systematic tracking of renewal, term and termination dates protects you from unnecessary obligations and missed opportunities. This tracking is one of the most neglected yet most valuable parts of contract management.
Yes. Renewable energy projects can benefit from support such as purchase guarantee mechanisms, investment incentives, and connection priority. We assess the available support mechanisms according to your project's feasibility and manage the application processes.
Board members are liable to the company, the shareholders, and the creditors within the scope of their duty of care and loyalty. Personal liability may arise for public debts and for negligent transactions. We structure decision-making processes and documentation so as to minimise these risks.
In CMR and transport law, the time limits are short; for apparent damage you must notify the carrier of a reservation at the time of delivery, and for concealed damage within a short period. The limitation period for bringing an action is generally short as well. To avoid forfeiting your rights, it is critical to seek legal support as soon as you notice the damage.
Yes. Commercial relations between Türkiye and the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) are our area of expertise. Through our offices in İstanbul, Berlin and Kyrenia, we provide multilingual support in Turkish, German and English on your cross-border transactions, taking both legal cultures into account.
Foreign court judgments may take effect in Türkiye where the recognition and enforcement conditions set out in the law are met. With our multilingual team, we handle these processes in Turkish, German, and English.
Yes. For a foreign court judgment or arbitral award to be enforceable in Türkiye, it must first be rendered valid under Turkish law through a recognition or enforcement (tenfiz) action. We conduct this process and convert your judgment into a title that is enforceable in Türkiye.
