From stone to project, a solid legal foundation.
From real estate acquisition to construction contracts, from zoning processes to urban transformation; we provide counsel that brings your projects and real property investments to life with legal assurance.
The most tangible form of investment: real estate
Real estate and construction are high-value, long-term transactions involving many parties. Title security, a sound contract structure and compliance with zoning status are the foundation of protecting the value of the investment and preventing disputes.
From property purchase and sale to land-for-flat construction and revenue-sharing models, from zoning and permit processes to urban regeneration; we provide legal assurance at every stage of projects for domestic and foreign investors.

From acquisition to handover, every stage of the real estate and construction process.
A perspective that secures the project from start to finish

With our multilingual team of lawyers, well-versed in Turkish and German law, we are by your side.
Annotations, mortgages and attachments on the title-deed record; the zoning status; the occupancy permit (building use permit); and, where applicable, the condominium ownership status must all be examined. A purchase made without this “due diligence” can give rise to serious surprises. We carry out all legal checks before transfer and thereby safeguard your investment.
Zoning plans and administrative acts, if unlawful, can be made the subject of an annulment action before the administrative court; applications for a plan amendment are also possible. We analyse your zoning status and strategically evaluate the administrative and judicial routes for bringing your project to life.
The landowner is protected through provisions such as the delivery deadline and penalty for delay, the creation of a construction servitude, securities, compliance with zoning and liability for defects. The standard contracts offered by the contractor are often to the landowner's disadvantage. We structure and negotiate the contract so as to secure the landowner's rights.
In the event of delay, a penalty clause and damages may be claimed; in the case of defective performance, the remedying of the defects, a price reduction or rescission of the contract may be sought. The scope of your rights depends on the contract provisions and the evidence. We conduct the process on a results-oriented basis, including the determination of evidence and litigation.
Foreigners may acquire immovable property in Türkiye within the framework of statutory restrictions (such as military-zone limitations and country and area caps). Acquisition can also be a route to a residence permit and to exceptional citizenship. We handle the process end to end, together with its title-deed and status dimensions.
