Corporate and M&A
We provide comprehensive legal support to our clients at every stage of the corporate lifecycle, from incorporation to strategic M&A transactions. Our goal is to create sustainable value by combining commercial objectives with legal assurance.
Mergers and Acquisitions
We advise our clients throughout all phases of mergers and acquisitions transactions, providing counsel across the complete range of transaction types. We act on behalf of our clients in structuring and executing various transaction models, including strategic and financial acquisitions, cross-border deals, mergers, demergers, share transfers, joint ventures, management buyouts, leveraged buyouts, and asset transfers, particularly in high-growth sectors such as industrial manufacturing, FinTech, renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, and technology. In this context, we provide end-to-end legal support, including due diligence, transaction structuring, negotiations, closing and post-transaction integration.
Due Diligence
Our experienced team, providing legal consultancy across all areas of law, expertly conducts due diligence processes for investment transactions. Through our risk-focused assessments covering commercial and corporate law, regulatory compliance, assets, intellectual property rights, legal disputes, insurance, employees, and commercial and contractual obligations, we enable investors to identify risks and critical findings at an early stage and assist sellers in mitigating these risks to secure investments on stronger terms.
Company Incorporation and Foreign Direct Investments
We support both local and international clients in establishing their operations in Turkey. From deciding on the most suitable corporate structure including Limited Liability and Joint Stock Companies to managing the entire incorporation process, we provide comprehensive legal support. Our legal consultancy scope includes creating necessary document checklists for a smooth and compliant setup, providing translation assistance, and preparing signature circulars and internal directives. We also help foreign investors structure their investments to maximize benefits from available incentives and free-zone advantages, while ensuring full compliance with Turkish Foreign Direct Investment legislation. We stand by our clients beyond the incorporation phase, offering our sectoral knowledge and end-to-end expertise for projects such as establishing manufacturing plants or R&D centers in the technology sector.
Corporate Housekeeping
We assist companies in establishing and maintaining robust corporate governance frameworks to ensure compliance and operational efficiency. Our expert team manages the day-to-day corporate functions of companies as external counsel, from general assembly meetings and registry filings to drafting resolutions, signature circulars, and management policies that meet the requirements of the Turkish Commercial Code.
