• Acquisitions and disposals

• Private equity
• Corporate reorganisations, mergers and spin-offs
• Foreign direct investment

Corporate / Commercial

We provide routine, retainer-based corporate and commercial advice and bespoke services for specific matters.

We advise both private and public companies on corporate matters ranging from regular General Assembly and Board meetings and capital increases to amendments to Articles of Association in accordance with the Turkish Commercial Code.

For commercial transactions, we have in-depth expertise in franchising, licensing, distribution, outsourcing, and dealer arrangements.

We are particularly well-versed in long-term commercial supply and sale contracts, in particular in the commodities, life sciences, retail, telecommunications, media and technology sectors where we can assist with day-to-day issues or manage projects to deliver key contracts and long-term agreements.
