Overview

Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Representation in Turkish courts, commercial disputes, civil litigation and settlement strategy for foreign clients.

Typical matters

  • Commercial, civil, inheritance and real estate disputes
  • Court representation and evidence preparation
  • Settlement, mediation and risk assessment
  • Coordination with foreign counsel in cross-border disputes

What to prepare

For a first review, send the core documents, a short timeline, the parties' names and locations, the Turkish asset or authority involved, and the practical result you want to achieve. If a deadline, hearing, payment demand or authority letter exists, mention it first.

How the first step works

We check whether the matter can start remotely, which documents need translation or apostille, whether a Turkish power of attorney is needed and which official or court route is likely to follow.
