Navigating the Legal Foundations of Corporate Success

In the vast architecture of society, companies serve as the structural pillars of economic vitality. Yet even the strongest pillars require legal foundations that do more than simply comply—they must support vision, resilience, and adaptability.
At OZNUR & PARTNERS Law Firm, we treat corporate law not as a checklist of procedures, but as a strategic framework rooted in balance, clarity, and foresight.
Much like Montesquieu’s doctrine of checks and balances in governance, we believe every corporate decision should be measured, intentional, and grounded in legal stability.
Our mission is to guide companies—startups and established firms alike—through the intricate legal frameworks that shape today’s global commercial landscape, ensuring each move is aligned with both opportunity and compliance.

Because in corporate law, silence isn’t safety—it’s a blind spot.

Comprehensive Legal Services for Corporate Life Cycle

Our legal services encompass every stage of the corporate life cycle, beginning with company formation. Whether our clients are establishing a joint stock company, a limited liability company, or seeking to create a branch or liaison office in Turkey, we offer strategic legal advice tailored to their structure and goals. We prepare the Articles of Association, handle official registrations, and ensure the entire process complies with the Turkish Commercial Code and related regulations.

Beyond formation, our firm provides sophisticated legal guidance in more advanced corporate transactions. This includes company restructuring, capital increase or decrease, mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, and liquidations. In each of these, timing, documentation, and compliance are essential. With a clear understanding of the legal ramifications of each step, we help clients minimize risk while optimizing operational continuity.

Strategic Drafting of Commercial Agreements

Montesquieu famously said, "Power must check power." In the business world, contracts serve this purpose—ensuring that no party wields unchecked influence and that obligations are enforceable. In line with this, our corporate law team drafts and reviews a wide range of commercial agreements that form the basis of business operations:

Types of Agreements We Handle

• License Agreements
• Service Agreements
• Construction Contracts
• Franchise Agreements
• Confidentiality (NDA) and Non-Compete Agreements
• Supply and Distribution Agreements
• Advertising and Sponsorship Contracts
• Shareholder and Partnership Agreements
• Subscription and SaaS Agreements

Each agreement is meticulously tailored to protect the client's interests while fostering commercial harmony. We do not use templates. Instead, we understand the business model, assess potential liabilities, and negotiate from a position of strength and legal foresight.

Legal Representation and Strategic Counsel

Our representation extends beyond drafting and advisory roles. We defend our clients before first instance and supreme courts, including the Court of Cassation and the Council of State. We are also active before arbitration tribunals, where commercial disputes often demand swift and discreet resolution. Administrative institutions—such as the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office, domain name arbitration panels, and customs authorities—also fall within our field of activity.

In every engagement, we combine technical expertise with a deep appreciation of business strategy. We know that legal solutions must serve not only the law but also the client’s broader commercial objectives. In an era where regulatory environments evolve rapidly, our clients rely on us not only to interpret the law, but to anticipate its direction.

Proactive and ESG-Oriented Legal Solutions

Our team adopts a proactive approach, offering legal audits, corporate governance consulting, and compliance checks to prevent legal issues before they arise. For international clients, we provide cross-border legal coordination—bridging jurisdictions and ensuring that global strategies align with Turkish corporate regulations.

Corporate law, in its essence, is about structure, predictability, and resilience. A well-organized company governed by robust legal principles is better equipped to innovate, expand, and endure in volatile markets. Just as Montesquieu believed that liberty thrives where power is wisely restrained, we believe that business success is most sustainable when guided by smart, strategic legal counsel.

We also recognize the growing importance of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards in corporate operations. Companies that align with global ESG norms not only gain reputational advantages but also improve investor confidence and long-term profitability. Our legal team advises on integrating ESG principles into corporate governance and reporting, ensuring that our clients are aligned with both regulatory demands and ethical expectations.
