Corporate Lawyer

Corporate Law

Conducting every corporate process lawfully — from company formation and general assembly procedures to share transfers and shareholder disputes — prevents both the risk of criminal liability and the cost of partnership conflicts.

Corporate law governs the entire life cycle of your business, from formation to liquidation. Structuring the articles of association and the ownership framework correctly at the outset is the most effective insurance against future shareholder disputes.

Our office advises on the formation of joint-stock and limited liability companies, amendments to articles of association, capital increases, general assembly and board procedures, share transfers, shareholders' agreements, and merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions; we represent clients in actions for the expulsion of shareholders, company dissolution, and liability claims.

Either can be formed with a single shareholder. The minimum capital is TRY 250,000 for a joint-stock company and TRY 50,000 for a limited liability company. A joint-stock company suits structures seeking ease of share transfer, the possibility of going public, and tax advantages on share disposals; a limited liability company suits simpler management.

A shareholder is, as a rule, liable only up to the capital they have subscribed. However, for public debts (taxes, social security), shareholders can be held liable in proportion to their capital shares, and managers for the full amount. The role of manager should therefore be taken on with care.

In a limited liability company, an action for withdrawal for just cause can be brought; in a joint-stock company, the options are transferring the shares or an action for dissolution for just cause. If the shareholders' agreement provides an exit mechanism (put/call options), the process moves much faster.
