Establishing a company, investing in an existing business or conducting commercial activity in Turkey requires the right corporate structure, clear contractual arrangements and early assessment of legal risk. UZT Consultancy provides practical and strategic legal support to entrepreneurs, companies and investors in connection with their commercial activities in Turkey.

Business needs do not end at incorporation. Changes to ownership, share transfers, management and signing authority, commercial contracts, investments, debt issues and shareholder disputes may all require legal attention as a business develops.

Company Formation and Corporate Structure
The corporate structure chosen at the outset should reflect the nature of the business, the position of its owners, the capital plan, management requirements and any future investment or exit plans. Clearly planning the key corporate documents, ownership arrangements and authority structure can reduce the risk of later disputes.

Commercial Contracts and Business Relationships
A well-prepared contract does more than record the parties’ rights and obligations. It can reduce commercial risk by addressing payment, delivery, confidentiality, intellectual property, liability and dispute resolution. We review contracts not only from a legal perspective, but also in light of the commercial purpose and practical operation of the arrangement.

Investments, Acquisitions and Shareholder Disputes
Investing in a company, acquiring a business or shares, or establishing a new business relationship may require legal review, document preparation and risk management. Where disagreements arise between owners concerning management, share transfers, profit distribution, access to information, financing or the company’s future, we assess negotiation, contractual solutions and, where necessary, formal legal routes.

Support for Clients Outside Turkey
It is not always necessary to be physically present in Turkey in order to establish a company or make an investment. With appropriate powers of attorney, apostille, translations and document preparation, many steps can be coordinated through a representative.
