Contracts form the basis of commercial relationships and determine the allocation of rights, obligations and economic risks. Cross-border transactions also require careful consideration of Turkish law, language and international business practice.
Dedeoğlu Partner advises companies and private clients on drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts relating to Turkey. We focus on clear, practical provisions tailored to the purpose of each transaction.
Advice and communication are available in English, German and Turkish.
