How we assist from here
From Istanbul, we handle the firm's Türkiye-related work directly, commercial and contractual disputes before the Turkish courts and in arbitration, company and shareholder matters, insurance and maritime work, real estate, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and awards. Senior lawyers stay close to each matter rather than passing it down a chain.
Istanbul is also the coordination point for international clients: inbound investment and market entry, and cross-border matters that touch Türkiye on one side and Northern Cyprus, London or another jurisdiction on the other. Clients deal with one team that holds the whole picture.
