Commercial Law Services
Commercial law covers the legal framework of business activity, from company formation and contracts to shareholder disputes and commercial litigation. We provide legal support tailored to the structure, evidence profile and regulatory context of the specific commercial matter.
Turkish commercial law is primarily governed by the Turkish Commercial Code No. 6102 and the Code of Obligations No. 6098. Recent regulatory changes including digital company formation, e-general assembly capabilities, and updated capital requirements make professional legal guidance essential for both domestic and international businesses.
Our commercial law services include LLC and joint stock company formation, commercial contract drafting and review, partnership and shareholder disputes, mergers and acquisitions, unfair competition litigation, bankruptcy and concordat proceedings, international trade compliance, and corporate governance advisory. We support businesses at every stage from inception to growth and restructuring.
