PUBLICATIONS
Legal Insights and Practical Notes
Publications on legislation, transactions, disputes and legal developments relevant to businesses, investors and individuals operating in Türkiye and in cross-border matters.
Turkish Citizenship by Investment in 2026: The USD 400,000 Property Route, Other Investment Options and Legal Due Diligence
Turkish citizenship by investment is not merely a real-estate purchase. The investment, title structure, payment trail, eligibility documents and administrative sequence must all satisfy the applicable rules.
Buying Property in Türkiye as a Foreigner: Title Deed, Legal Due Diligence, Restrictions and Closing
Foreign buyers can acquire real estate in Türkiye subject to legal restrictions, but a safe purchase requires more than viewing the property and signing a sales document.
Residence Permit Through Property Ownership in Türkiye: The 2026 Framework for Foreign Homeowners
Owning a home in Türkiye may provide a basis for a short-term residence-permit application, but ownership alone does not guarantee approval and should not be confused with citizenship.
How Foreign Investors Can Establish a Company in Türkiye: LLC, JSC, MERSIS, Documents and Governance
Foreign investors generally receive equal treatment in company formation, but the real legal work begins with choosing the right structure, governance model and documentary sequence.
Inheritance in Türkiye for Foreigners: Turkish Property, Wills, Heirship Certificates and Cross-Border Estates
A cross-border inheritance involving Turkish property can require Turkish succession analysis, foreign civil-status documents, an heirship certificate and land-registry procedures.
Work Permits in Türkiye for Foreign Employees, Managers and Company Partners: 2026 Legal Guide
Company ownership or residence does not automatically authorise work. Foreign employees, executives and company partners should assess work-permit rules before beginning activity in Türkiye.
International Sale of Goods with Turkish Companies: CISG, Contract Drafting and Dispute Risk
A contract that says “Turkish law applies” may still be governed in material part by the CISG. Foreign buyers and sellers should decide expressly how the Convention fits into the deal.
Debt Recovery in Türkiye for Foreign Creditors: Enforcement, Provisional Attachment and Litigation
The fastest-looking enforcement route is not always the safest route. Foreign creditors should choose between enforcement, litigation and provisional measures based on the document, defence risk and debtor assets.
Non-Payment, Commercial Fraud or Civil Dispute in Türkiye? Understanding the Criminal-Law Boundary
Non-payment is not automatically fraud. Criminal liability requires its own elements, while a commercial claim may instead belong in enforcement or civil/commercial proceedings.
Turkish LLC or JSC? Choosing the Right Company Structure for Foreign Shareholders and Investors
The cheapest company to incorporate is not always the right company to own. Foreign investors should choose LLC or JSC based on governance, funding, transfer and exit strategy.
Employment Termination in Türkiye: A Guide for Foreign Employers and Executives
A termination letter is only one part of the process. Foreign employers should evaluate reason, documentation, notice, severance, mediation and reinstatement exposure before dismissal.
From Trade Fair to Binding Contract in Türkiye: 10 Legal Checks for Cross-Border Deals
A handshake, pro forma invoice and WhatsApp conversation can become a real commercial relationship faster than the parties expect. The contract should catch up before the first shipment.
Buying a Yacht or Vessel in Türkiye: Legal Due Diligence, Ownership, Liens, Registry and Closing
A marine survey answers technical questions; legal due diligence answers ownership, mortgage, lien, registry, contract and closing questions. Foreign buyers usually need both.
Reflagging a Foreign-Flagged Vessel to the Turkish Flag: Legal Process, Registry and Documents
Reflagging is not a simple change of flag sticker. Ownership, Turkish-flag eligibility, deletion from the former registry and technical/registry documentation must align.
