Fields of Work

Corporate and Commercial Law

Corporate and commercial law is one of the fundamental areas of expertise of our law firm. We put our deep and versatile knowledge in this field into action for the superior benefit of our clients, develop practical solutions, and provide advice. 

Our law firm's expertise in this field and client-oriented approach enable us to provide consultancy services to companies, traders, and entrepreneurs in all areas of law, and develop practical, fast, and result-oriented solutions tailored to our clients' needs.

 From the establishment of the company to its liquidation, we respond to the needs that arise during the design and supervision of the company's internal structure. Within this scope, we develop practical solutions for any legal requirements that may arise during the company's daily operations, provide legal and consultancy services for short and long-term matters, and determine all necessary actions to protect the company's interests against both legal authorities and third parties in their external relations. We also develop solutions that cover all legal dimensions in this regard.

The main legal services we provide in the field of corporate governance include internal and external negotiations, preparation and review of contracts, company decisions, capital increases and reductions, functioning of the board of directors and other corporate governance bodies, negotiation of shareholder agreements, status of executives, risk analysis, crisis management, consultancy in all aspects of corporate governance, representation at general meetings, appointments, compliance with regulations, restructuring, status of company headquarters and other offices, establishment of branches, domestic and foreign investment processes, legal regulation and oversight of relationships with customers and investors, follow-up of investigations and lawsuits, legal status and compensation of company employees, management of reconciliation and mediation processes in this regard, mergers and acquisitions, various legal needs arising from the company's foreign relations, and continuous and effective consultancy in these specialized legal services.

 Our fundamental vision and mission in this field is to contribute positively to our small, medium, and large-scale clients who aim to compete in the national or global market by identifying constantly changing and evolving needs in today's fast-paced world. Accordingly, we are constantly improving ourselves, keeping up with current developments, getting to know the markets, and enriching our perspective beyond just the law. In fact, Article 1 of the Turkish Commercial Code, which bears the title "Commercial Provisions", gives priority to commercial customs and practices rather than general laws in commercial matters without commercial provisions. This drives us to learn more than just the laws. In this direction, our law firm strives to respond quickly to our clients' urgent need for access to information by closely monitoring legal and non-legal developments and offering practical solutions.

 Our law firm never settles for existing knowledge alone, instead seeking the support of specialized institutions and organizations, developing official relationships with some of them, working with specialized individuals and academics, and regularly attending national and international current training in commercial practices, finance, and technology to expand our knowledge.

We specialize in insurance law, which is one of the two main areas of expertise of our law firm. With our experience and knowledge in this specialized field, we develop solutions that encompass all legal dimensions and intricacies of complex insurance disputes for large, medium, and small-scale actors in the insurance sector.

In today's world, it is not possible to consider commercial life independently from the concept of insurance and, therefore, insurance law. In the field of insurance law, which is constantly evolving, full of innovations, and has vital importance in commercial activities, competent and technically knowledgeable legal consultancy is of great importance.
