Clear answers to the questions on your mind.
The most frequently asked questions about our working model, fees, initial consultations, the Germany Desk, careers, data security and specialist areas.
The opportunity is not taken anywhere without your approval; when it is, an anonymous profile that does not include the company name is used first. The name and details are shared only with serious candidates who have signed an NDA, and only in stages.…
Türkiye's bilateral investment treaties provide equal treatment, safeguards against expropriation, and access to international arbitration. We structure your shareholding and contractual arrangements so as to activate these protections.
Pay and payroll information is personal data protected by the Personal Data Protection Law (No. 6698), and inside a company it is among the most sensitive categories there is. We run payroll over a separate line that only authorised people can reach, deliver reports through encrypted channels, and limit access rights by job description rather than by seniority.How that data is stored, deleted and transferred is designed against the data security obligations in Article 12 of the same Law. The wage slips and payroll…
The fixed monthly retainer is set according to the size of your company, the volume of contracts and transactions, the expected density of queries and the areas of law to be covered. We define the scope together and make clear from the outset which work is included in the fixed fee and which — litigation, arbitration or a major transaction, for example — falls outside it and is billed separately. That framework is recorded in a written engagement letter.The point is to turn your legal spending into a predictable,…
Hosting location, encryption, access roles, and the sub-processor chain must be secured by contract; KVKK rules on cross-border data transfers must also be observed. We negotiate vendor contracts against these criteria.
AI is not a line that puts the fee up by itself; more often it is an efficiency tool that shortens the time spent on high-volume work. When the first pass over thousands of documents gets faster, the time saved moves from routine reading to analysis and strategy, which can bring down the total hours on comparable matters.For suitable work of defined scope, fixed-price models can be set up so that the cost is predictable. In every case the fee is set by the nature, the scope and the complexity of the work, and is p…
It depends on the transaction. A simple change of legal form — a limited liability company becoming a joint-stock company, say — is usually done within a few weeks. Mergers, demergers and forming a holding take a few months, because of the valuation, the interim balance sheet, the creditor-protection steps and the sequence of registrations they require.These follow the procedure in Article 134 and following of the Turkish Commercial Code (No. 6102), and the tax dimension — and where relevant the competition one —…
There is no single figure. It depends on the court’s caseload, on the objections the other side raises, and on how complete your document set is. The most common cause of delay is entirely within your control: the foreign judgment not being submitted from the outset with its proper certification (apostille) and sworn translations.With a well-prepared file — including the certificate that the judgment is final and the proof of service — the process shortens noticeably. Enforcement proceedings are heard under the Ac…
Once the documents are ready, incorporation can be completed within a few days; apostilled translations of the foreign shareholder's documents, a tax number, and an address are required. We handle the MERSİS and registry processes on your behalf under a power of attorney.
A focused legal DD usually takes a few weeks; the timeline depends on how well the data room is organised. It concentrates on the risks that matter to the decision-maker; we tie the findings to price, conditions, or an indemnification mechanism.
With a complete file, a work permit application is usually concluded in anything from a few weeks to a few months. No exact figure is possible, because the time depends on the type of application, the position the foreign national will hold and the workload of the unit handling it.The single biggest cause of delay is a later request for missing documents, which is why preparing the file completely and consistently from the start is what really matters. The application is assessed by the Ministry of Labour and Soci…
It depends on the scope of the opinion and on how many documents and legal questions have to be examined. A focused opinion on a single question can be ready in a few working days, while a multi-dimensional assessment spanning several areas of legislation, comparative law or a large set of documents can take a few weeks.The factors that move the timetable are how clearly the question is framed, whether the necessary documents arrive complete and on time, and whether there is a foreign law dimension. For urgent dec…
A standard transaction data room is usually working within a few days, once the folder structure is built, the access roles are defined and the first documents are loaded. What decides the timetable is not the technical set-up but how ready the documents are: paperwork that is missing or scattered across the business is the thing that actually stretches the process.Access roles are defined separately for buyer, seller and advisers, and at the level of view-only or download rather than all-or-nothing. For documents…
The E-TUYS application is filed quickly once the file is ready; what is critical is to start expenditure after the application. If there is urgency, we build a filing strategy that brings the application date forward.
For a standard product-channel set, the mapping is completed within a few weeks; registrations run in parallel. We recommend starting at least one quarter before launch.
Identifying the heirs is usually completed within weeks; the estate inventory varies according to the diversity of the assets and institutions' response times. In cross-border files, the apostille and translation chain adds extra time. We set out a realistic timeline at the start, flag the steps that can stretch, and report as we go. One thing is worth knowing in advance: in practice the pace is set by how quickly the land registry, the banks and the consulates answer, and not by how complicated the file is.
Counting file preparation, the visa appointment and the decision, a realistic band is a few months. The employer-initiated accelerated skilled-worker procedure (beschleunigtes Fachkräfteverfahren) can shorten that appreciably.
For a mid-sized company, setup typically takes 8-12 weeks; the cost depends on the number of your processes and the complexity of your systems. The gap analysis, as the first step, produces a clear scope and budget…
It depends on the scope of the review and on where the target company is. A standard counterparty review covering Türkiye alone — registry records, powers of representation, litigation and enforcement history and a basic reputational search — can usually be delivered within a few working days.Files with a German leg, or that need overseas registry searches, deeper financial analysis or verification on the ground, naturally take longer; there, the response times of official bodies and registries usually set the pac…
If the documents are ready, registration generally takes a few business days; the real timeline is set by the apostille-translation chain and the banking steps. With a power of attorney issued abroad, we can complete the incorporation before you even arrive.
Tiered thresholds apply based on the workplace headcount, and dismissals within a one-month period are counted together. The threshold calculation is the first step of planning.
The typical process takes 3-6 months (depending on the meeting rhythm). The constitution is a living document: the family council's annual review and an amendment procedure requiring a qualified majority are defined within the text.
There is no numerical limit; however, weak repeat applications pollute the file history. Each application should be made with new evidence that closes off the grounds of the previous refusal.
The cost of a case has two parts. Court fees are charged under the Fees Law (No. 492) and, in most types of case, calculated in proportion to the value of the claim, with part payable up front when the action is filed. To that is added the expense advance deposited under Article 120 of the Code of Civil Procedure (No. 6100), which covers the expert, witness, site-inspection and service costs as the case proceeds.The totals move with the value of the claim, the state of the evidence and whether an expert report wil…
