Step-by-step conveyancing and procedure stages

Case and clause review

We read the contract, the arbitration or jurisdiction clause and the correspondence, and give you a candid read on the merits, the forum and the deadlines.

Strategy and forum selection

We choose the right route — arbitration or court, in Türkiye or abroad — and set a strategy with a clear fee structure before work begins.

Pre-action mediation or notice

Where mediation is a precondition, we complete it properly; otherwise we open with the notices and demands that position the case.

Filing the proceedings

We file and run the arbitration or court proceedings, manage the evidence, and represent you at hearings.

Interim protection of assets

We seek injunctions or precautionary attachment to secure assets so a win is actually collectable.

Award or judgment and enforcement

We obtain the award or judgment and enforce it against assets through Turkish execution proceedings.

Recognition of a foreign decision

Where you already hold a foreign judgment or award, we recognise and enforce it in Türkiye against local assets.

Critical statutory deadlines and calendar windows

Deadlines that decide the outcome

30 days~~Action to set aside an arbitral award seated in Türkiye (iptal davası) must be filed within 30 days of notification of the award, under Law No. 4686. Miss it and the award stands.~~

What to gather before the first conversation

Disputes are cheapest to influence early. These are the things worth pulling together before anyone advises you on forum, deadlines or enforcement.

The contract itself, with the arbitration or jurisdiction clause — that clause decides whether the dispute goes to a tribunal or to the Turkish courts
The correspondence trail: notices, demands, invoices and anything showing what was agreed and what went wrong
If you hold a foreign judgment or arbitral award, the decision plus the documents and translations that recognition or enforcement will require
A note of the date the award was notified to you, if a challenge is even being considered — the window to file a set-aside action is 30 days
Whether your claim is a commercial-receivable (money) claim, since mediation is a filing condition before court in those cases
What the other side actually owns in Türkiye, and any sign assets are being moved — interim protection is worth little once they are gone
A power of attorney plan if you are abroad: notarised and apostilled, then translated, so filings and interim measures can proceed without you travelling
