Legal & Advisory Support for Foreign Businesses
Operating a business in Turkey requires more than legal paperwork. You need advisors with direct experience of the Turkish regulatory environment, government processes, and local market conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Yes. Contract review and negotiation is one of our core services. We check every clause, flag every risk, and negotiate clear, fair terms on your behalf. You never sign a contract in Turkey without knowing exactly what you are agreeing to.
A standard limited liability company in Turkey can be registered in as little as 3 to 7 business days once all documents are ready. We prepare everything in advance so the process moves as fast as possible with zero delays on your end.
No. We can handle the full company formation and ongoing compliance remotely. With a properly registered power of attorney, we represent your business in Turkey for all legal and government matters. Most of our international clients manage their Turkish operations entirely from abroad.
Absolutely. We work with businesses at every stage — including those already operating in Turkey who need urgent legal support. We assess the situation, advise on your options, and take action fast. You get clear answers and a concrete plan from the very first call.

This depends entirely on your industry and business activities. Some sectors require specific licences from government ministries before operations can begin. We assess your business model and identify every permit you need — then manage the full application process on your behalf.
Yes. Foreign nationals and companies can own 100% of a Turkish business with no requirement for a local partner. We handle the full registration process — company formation, tax setup, and all government filings — so your business is legally operational from day one.
Foreign-owned Turkish companies are subject to Turkish corporate tax on their Turkey-based income. We structure your business from the start to ensure full tax compliance while minimising your exposure legally. We also advise on double taxation treaties between Turkey and your home country.
We work in English and Turkish. All client communication, advice, and document summaries are provided in clear, plain English. All official documents submitted to Turkish authorities are prepared and filed in Turkish by our legal team. You never need to deal with language barriers.
The most common mistake is signing contracts — with suppliers, landlords, or local partners — without a complete legal review. Turkish contract law has specific rules that differ significantly from most Western legal systems. We review every contract before you sign so your interests are fully protected.
