Commercial Lawyer in Antalya
Company law, commercial contracts and commercial disputes.
Commercial law governs merchants and commercial enterprises and the transactions between them. The Turkish Commercial Code no. 6102 is the principal legislation, supplemented by capital markets and competition legislation.
Commercial Law in Turkey
The field is divided into three main areas: the law of commercial enterprises, company law covering joint stock, limited, ordinary and commandite companies, and the law of negotiable instruments such as cheques, bonds and bills of exchange. Insurance and maritime trade form specialised branches.
Commercial disputes are heard by the Commercial Courts of First Instance. For monetary claims, mediation is a mandatory step before proceedings may be issued.
Foreign nationals may establish a company in Turkey on the same terms as Turkish citizens, and full foreign ownership is permitted.
