International Business & Investment
Inbound and outbound investment, market entry, company formation and international trade — coordinating counsel where more than one jurisdiction is involved.
Scope of practice
We act for foreign investors entering Türkiye and for Turkish businesses and individuals investing abroad — including into Northern Cyprus and the United Kingdom. Our role is to make sure the legal structure of an investment reflects its commercial purpose, that the right approvals are identified before commitments are made, and that the parts fit together across borders.
Cross-border work fails most often not on the headline deal but on the detail: an overlooked sectoral licence, a tax position that works in one country and not another, a contract drafted for the wrong law. We give early attention to those questions, when they can still be solved through structure and negotiation.
Typical matters
- Market entry and investment structuring
- Company formation for foreign investors in Türkiye
- Cross-border acquisitions and joint ventures
- International trade and distribution arrangements
- Foreign-investment and regulatory analysis
- Outbound investment from Türkiye to Northern Cyprus and the UK
- Coordination of counsel across jurisdictions
How we assist
We bring together the lawyers and specialists each matter requires and keep a single point of responsibility for the client, so that a transaction touching three jurisdictions is run as one coordinated matter rather than three disconnected ones.
