The inheritance and tax laws of both countries come into play together; a flawed setup creates the risk of double taxation and invalid dispositions. With our Berlin-İstanbul team, we design the plan so that it is valid under both legal systems.
Two questions are decisive: do you sell online to consumers in the EU, and are you outside the micro-enterprise exemption (fewer than 10 employees AND ≤2 M€ turnover)? If you answer “yes” to both, you have been in scope since 28 June 2025; an accessibility statement and EN 301 549 compliance are required.
The brand, technology and know-how contributed to the partnership must be clearly defined through licence agreements, and who retains ownership and what happens upon separation must be set down from the outset. Together with confidentiality and non-compete provisions, we protect your intellectual capital throughout the partnership and thereafter. Two steps make the protection concrete: register the rights formally — trademarks, patents and designs, under the Industrial Property Law (No. 6769) — so ownership is pro…
There are two routes: appointing a proxy to attend, or attending through the Electronic General Assembly System (EGKS) under Article 1527 of the Turkish Commercial Code (No. 6102). For a joint-stock company, electronic attendance requires both a provision in the articles of association and the system actually being set up.Where there are foreign shareholders, three things need planning from the outset: the form of the notice convening the meeting, the apostille and translation chain for the powers of attorney, and…
Three items need updating: return shipping costs passing to the seller, the changes to the withdrawal exceptions, and the mediation notice. We scan your pre-contractual information, contract and return policy together and close the gaps in a single revision.
Under EU rules, the consumer may, as a rule, withdraw within 14 days without giving a reason; who bears the return-shipping cost depends on the prior disclosure. We set up your multilingual return policy in compliance with both Turkish and EU rules.
Double taxation treaties (DTTs), including the Türkiye–Germany treaty, provide reduced rates on dividends, interest and royalties. We activate the treaty's protection through a certificate of tax residency and a proper declaration regime.
The country of the legal entity through which the investment is made determines which treaty applies. Running a treaty scan while the structure is being set up strengthens protection at no cost.
Enforcing a Turkish court judgment in Germany may also be an option; in both directions recognition and enforcement turn on the reciprocity condition — Article 54 of the Turkish Act on Private International Law for Türkiye, section 328 of the ZPO for Germany — and are assessed case by case.
German formal demand letters and Mahnverfahren (payment order) proceedings resolve most receivables without litigation; where litigation and enforcement are needed, those steps are taken by our partner firm activelaw in Germany. Our Germany Desk coordinates the file end to end and reports to the Turkish head office in its own language.
The trio of active usage rate, number of out-of-tool exceptions, and process cycle time is sufficient — and more honest than a survey.
With stand costs, records of cancelled meetings, order projections, and minutes taken on the day of the fair. If the evidence framework is set up during the fair, the calculation is strong.
The ICT permit is fast for temporary intra-group assignments but is restricted as to duration and change of employer; the Blue Card is a personal, long-term status that opens the path to permanent residence. The length of the assignment and…
We overlay your hiring and departure plans with the permit calendar and run a ratio simulation; at critical junctures, a hiring sequence is recommended.
After the rightholder recordal, customs stops a suspicious shipment and notifies you; within the time limit, the litigation/interim-measures route is pursued or the simplified destruction procedure is applied. The recordal sets up an automatic radar at the border.
Since January 2025, marketplaces in Türkiye have been withholding 1% from the payments they make to sellers (on the gross amount excluding VAT, without deducting commission). This is not a final tax but a creditable advance payment — yet it affects cash flow and pricing; the exemption and offset arrangements should be planned according to your seller type.
Acquiring real property at the qualifying amount, together with a valuation and an undertaking not to sell, turns into an application for exceptional citizenship. We run the title-deed and application stages from a single point, and assess family members within the same plan.
Sustainability claims on your website and in your reports can serve as the basis for consumer law, unfair competition, and investor claims. We compile an inventory of your claims and correct statements that cannot be substantiated.
The determining factor is the area of use: Annex III areas such as employment, credit, education, critical infrastructure, and product-safety components give rise to high risk. We determine your system's class through its use scenario and derive the set of obligations.
A legal risk analysis begins with a concrete inventory: we go through your contracts, your recurring business processes, your corporate records and your past disputes. Each risk identified is scored along two axes — how likely it is to materialise and what its impact would be — and the scores are gathered into a prioritised risk map. The map shows which risk has to be closed straight away, which is to be monitored, and which is better transferred by contract or by insurance.The areas that come up most often are em…
The first step is an assessment of the seriousness and scope of the report; an investigation plan is then established with rules on confidentiality, segregation of duties, and evidence security. Whistleblower protection and KVKK limits must be designed from the outset — we build this framework from day one.
