01
Company & Branch Formation
Incorporating in Germany is a multi-stage process that demands careful preparation. We advise on the choice between GmbH, UG, AG and branch structures based on business model, capital and growth plans; prepare articles and shareholder documents in German; handle notary and commercial register procedures and post-formation steps such as tax numbers and trade registration. For Turkish-headquartered companies expanding to Germany, both legal systems and the tax effects are assessed together — with bureaucracy streamlined to save time and cost.
02
Start-up Counsel
Germany hosts one of Europe's most dynamic start-up ecosystems — but seizing its opportunities requires the right legal foundation. From idea to scale: corporate and equity structure, founder and shareholder agreements, preparation for financing rounds, term sheet review, SAFE and convertible notes, employee participation plans (ESOP/VSOP) and IP protection. Applications to public grant and incentive programmes and two-country structuring for founders with Turkish ties are also within scope.
03
IT Law & AI Compliance
Technology companies, platforms and product teams operate in an ever-denser regulatory environment. Our focus: software development, licensing and SaaS agreements; terms of use and privacy policies for e-commerce and platforms; conformity of AI and algorithm-based systems with EU law — above all the EU AI Act; open-source compliance and legal preparedness for security incidents. We build contracts and compliance to match the reality of your business model.
04
Compliance & Data Protection (GDPR)
Meeting legal obligations is only the start — the goal is making compliance part of company culture. We design and implement GDPR-first data protection programmes: records of processing, privacy notices and policies, data processing agreements, consent mechanisms, internal policies and staff training. For data breaches, regulator notifications and audit preparation we deliver a fast, practical roadmap; Turkey–Germany data transfers are structured lawfully under both regimes.
05
Commercial Law & Contract Counsel
Robust contracts are the foundation of long-term success in the German market. We structure service, supply, distribution, agency, franchise and investment agreements under German law, update existing contracts after risk analysis, and translate Incoterms and EU trade law requirements into contract language. In German–Turkish bilingual contracts we close interpretation gaps from the outset — mindful of the contracting culture of German business.
06
Immigration, Residence, Work Permits & Citizenship
For anyone wanting to live, work or start a business in Germany, the procedures are often long and complex. We advise across residence, work and self-employment permits, family reunification, German citizenship, and long-term titles such as the settlement permit and EU long-term residence. For Turkish citizens we additionally assess the special rights under EU–Turkey association law and the Additional Protocol; Skilled Immigration Act advantages, recognition of qualifications and language requirements are managed as part of the process — from first assessment to appeals against refusals.
07
Legal Representation
For individuals and companies facing legal proceedings in Germany or needing representation before authorities, we organise professional representation through our admitted partners and cooperations: litigation before German courts, objections and applications before administrative bodies, representation in notary and registry matters, negotiations with public authorities, and recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in Germany. Making German proceedings fully understandable in Turkish and English is a distinctive part of our approach.
