Istanbul commercial lawyer providing effective solutions in partnership disputes including profit sharing, management disagreements, share transfers and partner exclusion cases.
We provide legal solutions for disputes between company partners.
Disputes can be prevented with partnership agreement, shareholders' agreement, and well-prepared articles of association.
Key remedies include annulment of general assembly resolutions (Turkish Commercial Code arts. 445-451), withdrawal or expulsion for just cause (arts. 638 and 531), information and inspection rights, special audit requests (art. 438) and dissolution actions. Contractual rights may also be reinforced through a shareholders' agreement. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.
Under art. 531 of the Turkish Commercial Code, shareholders holding at least 10% of the capital in JSCs (5% in listed companies) may bring a just-cause dissolution action. Instead of dissolution, the court may order payment of the share price or another solution. A similar mechanism for LLCs is in art. 636. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.
