Preventive law
Many legal disputes start with a contract that was not reviewed properly before signing, or a measure that was not taken in time. Preventive counsel brings legal risks into view while decisions are being made.
Drafting and reviewing contracts
Beyond each party’s obligations, a contract turns on its payment terms, penalty clauses, termination rights, limitation of liability, jurisdiction or arbitration and governing law. Tailoring these to the deal reduces both the likelihood and the cost of later disputes.
Data protection (KVKK)
The Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 requires every business that processes personal data to inform data subjects, keep data secure and answer their requests. Data controllers meeting the conditions set by the authority must also register with the Data Controllers’ Registry (VERBİS).
Legal opinions and risk assessment
Before an investment, a partnership, a merger or a major contract, a written legal opinion and risk assessment give decision makers a reasoned picture of the legal position.
Frequently asked questions
How does ongoing legal counsel work?
The business’s day-to-day legal needs are covered within a scope agreed in advance for a set period: reviewing contracts, correspondence, internal policies and quick answers to questions as they arise.
Must every business register with VERBİS?
No. Controllers above the employee and balance-sheet thresholds set by the Data Protection Board, or whose main activity is processing special categories of data, must register. Others must still comply with the rest of the law.
What should be checked before signing a contract?
Each party’s obligations and deadlines, payment terms, penalty clauses, termination rights, limits of liability, and which court or arbitration will hear any dispute.
