Vircon Legal’s International Desk is built for cross-border technology and venture work: for foreign founders, investors and operators who need Turkish legal capability delivered to an international standard, and for Turkish founders going global.
Who we work with
- Foreign VC funds, angels and accelerators investing into Turkish startups
- International companies establishing, acquiring or operating in Türkiye
- Turkish founders relocating their cap table abroad: the US/UK/EU “flip-up“
- Founders in regulated verticals: crypto-asset infrastructure, fintech and games
What we do
- Cross-border structuring & flip-ups: Delaware C-corp, UK and Dutch top-cos, and the share exchange, IP assignment and tax sequencing they require
- Inbound investment: SAFEs, convertibles and priced equity rounds into Turkish startups, documented to both international and Turkish-law standards
- Data protection across borders: KVKK and GDPR, including Türkiye’s 2024 cross-border transfer regime
- Regulated verticals: crypto-asset service providers, fintech and payments
- M&A, secondaries and exits, commercial contracts and IP protection
Step-by-step guide: Setting up a company in Türkiye as a foreign founder (entity choice, capital, documents, registry steps, work permits and the filings that follow).
Why Vircon
We are a startup-native firm: we speak both the language of venture capital and the detail of Turkish law. Documentation, negotiation and reporting are handled in English and Turkish, on a timeline that fits international deal calendars. Our open glossary, articles and tools, free to everyone, reflect how we think and work.
