We manage your matters in Turkey end to end — even if you live abroad. We advise and represent in the following areas.
A solid incorporation is more than a registry filing: the legal framework must fit the business model, shareholding structure and growth plans from day one. We advise from choice of legal form through shareholders' agreements, authority matrices and governance documents — and continue after formation with share transfers, board resolutions and corporate transformations.
From governance and shareholder relations to commercial contracts, M&A and restructuring: we support general assemblies and board processes, capital transactions, and agency, distributorship and franchise relationships. In multinational matters along the Germany–Turkey–UK axis we take a coordinated, holistic approach.
We draft, review and negotiate service, sale, supply, licence, partnership, franchise and investment agreements. In cross-border and bilingual contracts especially, interpretation gaps and risk imbalances can cause serious problems — we make sure the contract language is both legally robust and operationally workable.
For individuals, families and founders planning a life or business in Germany, Turkey or the UK: residence and work permit applications, family reunification, settlement and citizenship. The right route and timing follow from your status, business plan and long-term goals; document preparation, procedural follow-up and appeals against refusals are part of our scope.
In divorce, maintenance, custody and property division we put the long-term interests of the parties — and above all the children — first, prioritising low-conflict, negotiated solutions where possible. In German–Turkish cross-border cases we advise on recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, applicable law and international custody disputes.
From wills and inheritance agreements to renunciation, forced-share and partition claims, and international probate. For clients with assets in several countries, we determine the applicable law, handle the use of certificates of inheritance abroad and the recognition of international succession documents.
Legal certainty in the purchase, lease and investment of residential and commercial property: title and zoning checks, preliminary sale agreements, condominium and lease disputes, construction contracts. In investment transactions we assess not only the title but also tax, inheritance, corporate and family law effects — with full guidance for foreign buyers on acquisition conditions and permits.
Advice and representation on customs obligations in import and export, origin and valuation disputes, customs duties and administrative penalties. Structuring foreign trade contracts under Incoterms, using free trade agreements, and sanctions and export control compliance are within scope — with a practical focus on the EU–Turkey customs union.
We identify suitable investment, R&D and innovation incentives up to EU grant programmes and manage applications legally from start to finish: eligibility, review of decisions and terms, post-award reporting and audit obligations, and defence against clawback claims.
We assess the legal framework of the audit relationship, auditor–company contracts and the legal consequences of audit findings — including the compliance of internal control systems and the governance measures they may require.
We review business processes, contract structures and internal policies against the law of each country of operation and build a functional compliance framework: monitoring legislative change, updating policies and procedures, and developing sector-specific compliance programmes.
Support with compliance under the GDPR and the Turkish Data Protection Law (KVKK): records of processing, privacy notices, data processing agreements and consent mechanisms. For data breaches and regulator notifications we provide a fast roadmap; cross-border transfers between Germany and Turkey are assessed under both regimes.
Protecting and monetising trademarks, designs, software, copyright and patents: filing strategy, applications and opposition proceedings. Licence, assignment and co-use agreements and the correct structuring of IP in investment processes are part of our work — securing your assets in both Germany and Turkey.
For commercial and private receivables we first explore negotiation and restructuring; where that fails, we take the necessary steps under enforcement and insolvency law: payment orders, attachment, interim measures and insolvency proceedings. For creditors based abroad, we run the entire Turkish proceeding end to end.
We manage the employer–employee relationship from drafting the contract to its termination: non-compete, confidentiality, working conditions, discipline and dismissal. Differences between German and Turkish law receive special attention — particularly for companies with staff in both countries — and in disputes we balance legal risk with the long-term relationship.
We prioritise pre-litigation alternatives: preparation for and support through mediation in commercial, employment, lease, insurance, construction and family disputes. Our mediation and court-expert work in Turkey contributes to fast, effective resolution.
Drafting arbitration clauses in commercial contracts, preparing institutional and ad hoc arbitrations, and the recognition and enforcement of domestic and foreign awards. In cross-border disputes we use the speed and expertise of arbitration to our clients' advantage.
