We advise domestic and international companies on corporate governance, shareholder matters, board processes, commercial arrangements, reorganizations, and day-to-day legal operations. Our work is particularly focused on technology companies, regulated businesses, investors, and cross-border structures where corporate decisions must align with financing, compliance, and growth strategy.
Practice Areas
- Company formation and corporate structuring
- Board and shareholder resolutions
- Share transfers, capital increases, mergers, spin-offs and conversions
- Corporate governance frameworks
- Commercial contracts and operational legal support
- Group-company structures and intercompany arrangements
- Corporate housekeeping for investment and M&A readiness
- Coordination with tax, employment and regulatory advisors
How We Work
Corporate decisions rarely sit in isolation — they touch financing, compliance, employment, IP, tax, and growth strategy. We work as integrated corporate counsel, coordinating across these workstreams and bringing the same standard of documentation and process that institutional investors and acquirers expect when the company is ready for its next round, transaction or jurisdictional move.
For companies operating in regulated sectors (fintech, crypto-asset services, e-commerce, AI/data) we align corporate housekeeping with the regulator-facing posture, so that licensing, reporting and audit obligations sit cleanly alongside ordinary corporate operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ongoing corporate counsel cover for a startup?
Board and general-assembly operations, share transfers and capital increases, articles amendments, ESOP administration, commercial contracts, and the registry filings that keep the company bankable and diligence-ready. Most clients run this as a fixed-scope monthly arrangement rather than ad-hoc hourly work.
How do share transfers differ between an A.Ş. and an Ltd. Şti.?
In a joint-stock company (A.Ş.), registered share certificates transfer by endorsement and delivery with board approval where required — no notary, no trade-registry filing. In a limited company (Ltd. Şti.), every transfer needs a notarised agreement, general-assembly approval, and registry registration. This is one of the main reasons venture-backed companies choose the A.Ş. form.
Can a foreign founder or investor own 100% of a Turkish company?
Yes. Türkiye applies equal treatment to foreign shareholders, and full foreign ownership is permitted outside a few regulated sectors such as broadcasting and aviation. Practically you need a tax number, notarised and apostilled corporate documents, and a registered address — incorporation itself usually takes under a week.
