Corporate & Commercial
Companies, contracts, governance and transactions, and the continuing legal needs of domestic and international businesses.
Scope of practice
We advise companies and their owners across the life of a business — from formation and shareholder arrangements, through day-to-day contracting and governance, to transactions, restructurings and exit. We treat the constitutional documents and the shareholders' agreement as instruments that should reflect the real commercial relationship between the parties, not as forms to be completed.
Much of our work is preventive: defining who has authority to bind the company, how decisions are made, how shares may transfer and how disputes will be handled before they arise. Clear arrangements at the outset are usually far less expensive than the litigation that unclear ones invite.
Typical matters
- Company formation and corporate structuring
- Shareholders' agreements and articles of association
- Commercial contracts and general terms
- Corporate governance and signature authority
- Share transfers, restructurings and reorganisations
- Joint ventures and shareholder arrangements
- Ongoing corporate and commercial support
How we assist
We give advice that is commercially usable, not only technically correct — drafting that anticipates how an agreement will work in practice and where it is most likely to be tested. For international clients, we structure the Turkish elements of a wider arrangement so that they fit the group as a whole.
