A written and defensible legal basis for your critical decisions.
Board resolutions, major contracts, and regulatory questions should be handled with a reasoned written opinion, not with verbal advice. We prepare legal opinions and expert opinions focused on your specific question, with an actionable conclusion section.
Clarity before the decision, assurance after it
Some questions are too important to be brushed aside with a phone call. Whether a new business model is lawful, the scale of the risk in a major contract, or whether a board resolution will give rise to liability can only be answered soundly through a reasoned, written assessment.
Our legal opinions and advisory memoranda are structured to clarify the question, apply legislation and case law to the facts at hand, and give the decision-maker an actionable conclusion. Where needed they are prepared in Turkish, German or English, and can be presented directly to boards and to foreign headquarters.
When Does This Apply?
Typical situations calling for a written opinion.
Management Decisions
Liability and compliance assessment ahead of board and general assembly resolutions.
Regulatory Questions
How a new business model, product or campaign stands under the legislation, and its permit requirements.
Second Opinion
An independent review of ongoing litigation, a transaction or existing legal advice.
How Does the Process Work?
The three-stage discipline we follow in every memorandum.
01 · Framing the Question
We clarify the context and the assumptions behind the decision, and define together the legal questions to be answered.
02 · Analysis
We apply legislation, case law and administrative practice to the specific matter, and grade the risks of the different scenarios.
03 · Conclusion & Recommendation
We deliver a defensible, archivable opinion with an executive summary and clear action recommendations.
Academic depth, commercial clarity
A memorandum must be both legally sound and written in the decision-maker's language. Combining academic depth with field experience, our team drafts opinions with strong reasoning and clear conclusions rather than long, ambiguous texts.
- Academic rigor and a command of current case law

Take an opinion on any decision whose consequences are hard to reverse or expensive to get wrong.

An opinion does not bind the court. The judge applies the law of their own motion and is not held to a view submitted by one side. It can, though, be put on the file in support of a party’s arguments.The Code of Civil Procedure (No. 6100) expressly allows the parties to submit an expert opinion on matters calling for special or technical knowledge. In complex commercial and technical disputes that contributes to the…
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…
Absolutely. In high-risk matters, an independent second opinion is a customary and sound step in international practice.

We work on a confidentiality basis and without disturbing that relationship, assess the file impartially, and report both the risks that have been missed and the alternatives t…

We prepare legal opinions on Turkish law in German or English, structured so that a head office in Germany can rely on them directly, with clear conclusions, the governing provisions and practical recommendations rather than a literal translation of a Turkish memo. Where a matter also touches German law or the interaction between the two systems, we set out that dimension comparatively in the same report, which…
