Clear answers to the questions on your mind.

The biggest risks are failing to grant a reasonable notice period and, where its conditions are met, a goodwill indemnity claim; under German law these claims can extend to distributors as well. We build the termination strategy on notice period, grounds and documentation, and make the cost predictable.

Income-tax withholding incentives, SGK (Social Security) premium support, and the R&D deduction are the principal advantages; there are minimum-headcount and activity conditions. We manage the application and maintenance obligations end to end.

The application is made through the employer; capital, employment-ratio, and wage thresholds must be met. Missing documents and an incorrect position definition are grounds for rejection. We build the application strategy according to the company's structure and manage the process end to end.

A liaison office is suitable for market research and representation; commercial activity and issuing invoices are prohibited. If commercial activity is planned, a branch or company must be established. We determine the right structure according to your activity plan.

A second application filed without analysing the grounds for rejection will also be rejected. Between a timely objection and a strengthened new application that closes off those grounds, we choose whichever route will produce the fastest result for your file.

We can document the situation through evidence preservation and pursue warning and interim injunction processes within the same fair; after the fair, we continue enforcement with litigation and customs measures. Speed is decisive in the effective protection of the right.

Defence strategy and communication strategy cannot be separated; a wrong statement becomes adverse evidence in the file. As the legal team, we build a measured communication framework that preserves the presumption of innocence; where necessary, we pursue access-blocking and right-of-reply remedies.

In practice, a certain capital/turnover level and the employment of Turkish staff per foreign national are required; there are exceptions depending on the position. We run the criteria analysis before the application and, where necessary, bring the structure into conformity.

Typical requests are data on emissions (Scope 1-2-3), energy, occupational accidents, employee rights and procurement policies. We assess the contractual basis and proportionality of the request and structure the data sharing with a balance for trade secrets.

Your statements must be documentable; exaggerated sustainability claims (greenwashing) create a separate sanction risk. We build data collection processes around the criterion of provability and pass declaration texts through a legal filter.

If a competitor seeks an ex parte preliminary injunction against you at a trade fair, the court also sees the defence you filed in advance before it rules; this substantially reduces the risk of your stand being shut down without warning. It is part of our routine pre-fair preparation.

The notice periods, liability caps, and escrow arrangements in the agreement come into play; raising the claim on time and in the proper form is critical. We have experience managing such claims on both sides.

Adoption is the most critical risk of the project; that is why we design the rollout together with training, policy, and measurement. We start with small pilots and scale up based on usage data — we do not let you invest in systems that end up sitting on the shelf.

Support already used can be reclaimed with interest, and sanctions may follow. We monitor the conditions on a schedule; when a risk of deviation arises, we protect the structure through an application for an extension of time or a revision.

If buy-back, discount, and a sell-off period are not regulated in the contract, post-termination stock becomes the main item of dispute. We close this risk by writing the buy-back formula and the pricing into the contract from the outset.

It submits your defence to the court in advance against a possible preliminary-injunction request, making it harder for the injunction to be granted without a hearing. Before the trade-fair season, we file the protective brief for at-risk products with the central register.

The inventory is an internal record of all processing activities and is mandatory for everyone; VERBİS, on the other hand, is the public registry notification of data controllers that meet the criteria. We build the inventory in line with operations and derive VERBİS from it.

Under Turkish law, a secure electronic signature is legally equivalent to a wet-ink signature; however, certain transactions (e.g., specific security and consumer transactions) are exceptions. We map which signature type is sufficient in your processes and flag the risky exceptions.

A franchise transfers the use of a brand, know-how, and a system under strict standards and gives rise to an ongoing support obligation; a dealership is a looser sales relationship. The balance of liability and termination shifts with the model — we choose the right model together.

The minimum capital for a GmbH is €25,000 (at least half of which is paid in upon formation); with the notary, commercial register and bank account steps, the process usually takes a few weeks. Starting with lower capital via a UG is also possible. We build the structure together with its tax dimension.

The minimum share capital for a GmbH is EUR 25,000 (at least half is paid in at incorporation); incorporation before a notary and registration in the commercial register are required. Alternatively, the lower-capital UG structure can also be considered. We choose the right structure with you based on your objectives.

Cookies that run without consent and designs that pressure users to “accept all” are risky under both the KVKK and the GDPR. We turn your cookie layer into one that offers genuine choice and keeps records.

In German commercial practice, the review of general terms and conditions (AGB) is strict; some clauses customary in Türkiye may be held invalid in Germany. We build your contracts with German case law in view, settle the German-law points together with our partner firm activelaw, and make clear in bilingual texts which language prevails.

Where collusion (a sham subcontracting arrangement) is established, the subcontractor's employees are deemed to have been the principal employer's from the outset; wage and severance liability arises jointly. We set up the subcontracting arrangement in compliance with the legislation and establish the contractual and audit framework.
