Key Areas of This Practice

Our work in this area encompasses the following aspects:

Multi-Jurisdictional Disputes

We manage disputes that span multiple legal systems, coordinating strategy across parallel proceedings, enforcement actions, and interlocutory applications in different jurisdictions.

Cross-Border Transactions

We support international commercial transactions involving Turkish and foreign parties, advising on structure, governing law, regulatory requirements, and the legal risks specific to each jurisdiction involved.

Foreign Counsel Coordination

We act as the central coordinating point for matters requiring input from foreign counsel across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring strategic alignment and consistent communication with the client.

Enforcement Across Borders

We advise on the recognition and enforcement of judgments and arbitral awards across jurisdictions, navigating applicable treaties and domestic procedural requirements to secure effective enforcement.

The Basics

What Do Cross-Border Matters Involve?

  • Identification of applicable law and jurisdiction
  • Coordination of parallel proceedings across jurisdictions
  • Engagement and management of foreign counsel
  • Cross-border enforcement strategy
  • Multi-jurisdictional transaction structuring
  • Risk management across legal systems

Cross-border commercial matters — whether transactions or disputes — involve the intersection of different legal systems, regulatory environments, and procedural frameworks. Navigating this complexity requires not only legal expertise in the relevant substantive law, but also a coherent strategy that accounts for the interplay between jurisdictions and the practical implications of each procedural step. Our international outlook, dual-qualified capability, and experience in multi-jurisdictional proceedings allow us to provide this integrated, cross-border perspective as a matter of course.

Key Areas of Cross-Border Work

Identifying the correct applicable law and the appropriate forum for resolving disputes is the first and often most critical step in a cross-border matter. We advise on these questions from the outset, including in contract negotiations.

Where disputes involve simultaneous proceedings in different jurisdictions — arbitration, litigation, and enforcement actions running concurrently — we develop and coordinate a unified strategy across all fronts.

We advise on the legal aspects of cross-border acquisitions, joint ventures, and investment transactions involving Turkish and foreign parties, ensuring that legal risk is properly identified and managed across all relevant jurisdictions.

We assist international businesses establishing a legal and commercial presence in Türkiye, and Turkish businesses expanding abroad, advising on optimal structure, local requirements, and cross-border legal considerations.

In cross-border disputes, identifying and preserving assets in multiple jurisdictions is often essential. We advise on asset tracing strategies and coordinate applications for freezing orders and attachment in relevant jurisdictions.

We advise on the enforcement of arbitral awards under the New York Convention, navigating the procedural requirements in Türkiye and coordinating with foreign counsel on enforcement in other contracting states.

When unforeseen circumstances lead to lost wages, the financial impact can be daunting. At our law firm, we specialize in helping individuals and families recover the compensation they deserve.

We recognize the significance of non-material or moral damage and the toll it can take on individuals and families. Our compassionate legal team is dedicated to helping you seek justice for the emotional harm you've experienced.

Civil litigation is a term that applies to any legal dispute where two or more parties are seeking monetary damages or a specific performance and does not include criminal accusations. Some cases go to trial in which a judge will determine the outcome, but not all will.
 

The most common kinds of civil litigation involve contract disputes (ie alimony, injury, debt), class action lawsuits (ie discrimination), property disputes and complaints filed against a government body.

How Long Do I Have to File My Lawsuit? No one-size-fits-all answer exists. Every state has time limits, called statutes of limitations, for filing lawsuits.
 
 
About 80 percent of cases filed in superior courts are resolved before they get to a trial. In civil cases, both sides of a case often agree to settle their disagreement and reach a compromise to avoid the expense of a trial or the risk of losing at a trial.
 
Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) refers to any means of settling disputes outside of the courtroom. ADR typically includes early neutral evaluation.
 
 
Arbitration is a procedure in which a dispute is submitted, by agreement of the parties, to one or more arbitrators who make a binding decision on the dispute. In choosing arbitration, the parties opt for a private dispute resolution procedure instead of going to court.
