Clear answers to the questions on your mind.

Risky on its own: without access logs and a read-and-acknowledge mechanism, the evidence is weak. We recommend electronic acknowledgment plus a signature at onboarding as the standard.

No — unregistered rights and unpublished applications may remain. The aim is not to bring the risk to zero, but to make the known and discoverable risks manageable.

Most provisions of a letter of intent are not binding, because until the final agreement the parties do not intend to be bound. But clauses such as exclusivity, confidentiality, cost-sharing and governing law and dispute resolution are deliberately drafted to bind, and breaching them can create liability under the Turkish Code of Obligations (No. 6098). Exclusivity in particular can narrow your negotiating room by stopping you talking to other buyers for a set period.There is a further point: under the principle o…

This threshold is merely the lower limit below which sellers established in a single EU country may sell under their home country’s VAT. A Turkish company with no establishment in the EU is subject to destination-country VAT from the very first sale it makes from a warehouse inside the EU…

In a GmbH, at least €12,500 must be paid in at formation; the shareholders remain liable for the remainder. The payment documents are a precondition for registration.

Yes — if the system's output is used in the EU, or if you place AI-containing products/services on the EU market, being established in Türkiye does not take you outside its scope. For companies that export to Germany or have customers there, the AI Act is a direct commercial requirement, similar to the LkSG.

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.

No. The opportunity is never advertised anywhere; a targeted search is carried out. Contact is established one-on-one — with parties matching your profile — through our relationship network in…

It is useful for any company past a certain size, but there are situations where it matters a great deal more: a contract volume that is growing, headcount rising fast, an investment round or a share sale in prospect, or simply a legal set-up nobody has looked at as a whole for years.The check-up takes the layers together rather than one at a time — corporate records under the Turkish Commercial Code (No. 6102), employment practice under the Labour Law (No. 4857), the contract portfolio, intellectual property, and…

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.

The first wave (large listed companies already within the scope of the NFRD) has been reporting since financial year 2024; the subsequent waves were postponed by two years under the “stop-the-clock” directive, and the thresholds are being debated in the simplification package.…

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.

Residence facilitations are provided for the cardholder's close relatives; the status of the spouse and children is planned together with the application.

In a share transfer, employment contracts continue unchanged; the employer legal entity does not change. In an asset transfer, the rules on transfer of the workplace apply and the acquirer becomes the employer together with the existing rights. We design employee communications and the transition plan in step with the transaction timeline. In a workplace transfer, employees' rights accrued before the transfer pass to the acquirer, and the transferring employer remains jointly liable for those debts for two years.…

The review runs on a confidentiality agreement and on staged disclosure: the most sensitive material is opened only at later stages, once the transaction has shown it is real. The NDA carries binding obligations and a penalty clause under the Turkish Code of Obligations (No. 6098), and unlawful disclosure of a trade secret can also give rise to liability under the unfair competition provisions of the Turkish Commercial Code (No. 6102).Critical data — pricing, the customer list, a production method — is where neces…

Share transfer restrictions, pre-emption rights, and matrimonial property agreements are structured together; the goal is to prevent shares from leaving the family in an uncontrolled way. This is the most sensitive negotiation area of the constitution.

Not by reading them one by one, but through e-discovery. The relevant data sources — mailboxes, shared drives, backups — are first collected and copied securely; the data set is then narrowed in stages by date range, by party or person, and by key concept. Duplicates and irrelevant records are removed, the smaller remaining set is reviewed by a lawyer with a legal eye, and the relevant items are separated into the evidence file.This brings the review down from weeks to days and lowers the risk of a critical record…

It starts with documenting that you are an heir: once the certificate of inheritance is in hand, you have the standing to make enquiries of the institutions holding the records. From there the estate inventory is built systematically — title deeds for immovable property, banks for accounts and safe-deposit boxes, the trade registry and MERSİS for shareholdings, vehicle records, and any receivables owed to the deceased.Where you cannot reach the information yourself, the Turkish Civil Code (No. 4721) lets you ask t…

The required permits vary according to your field of activity, the nature of the facility, and its location. We begin the work with an end-to-end analysis of your activity; we gather all obligations at the municipal, ministerial, and sectoral-regulator layers into a single inventory. This map is the foundation of all subsequent steps. In practice almost every physical operation needs a business-opening and operation licence (işyeri açma ve çalışma ruhsatı) from the municipality or special provincial administration…
