Comprehensive legal consultancy is provided for domestic and international companies in their establishment, management, and restructuring processes, as well as for all ongoing commercial activities.
Corporate procedures such as company formation, preparation of articles of association, capital increase or reduction, changes in company type, mergers, and acquisitions are meticulously handled. In addition, assistance is provided in organizing general assembly and board of directors meetings, preparing resolutions and minutes in compliance with legislation, and following up on registration procedures before the relevant authorities.
Legal consultancy is offered throughout all stages of mergers and acquisitions, including legal due diligence, contract drafting, and registration procedures. Legal support is provided to ensure the process is completed efficiently and in full compliance with applicable legislation, safeguarding the rights and interests of all parties.
Mergers and acquisitions entail not only commercial and financial implications but also significant customs liabilities. The acquiring company’s past customs operations, potential risks, and ongoing obligations must be carefully examined.
In this context, customs compliance audits (customs due diligence) are conducted to identify potential administrative and financial risks. The objective is to ensure that the new corporate structure operates in full compliance with customs regulations and to eliminate unforeseen tax or penalty risks after the merger.
Import and export operations are analyzed to ensure adherence to legal requirements. Document flows and procedures are reviewed, risk areas are identified, and systems are developed to ensure preparedness for customs audits.
During mergers and acquisitions, the target company’s historical customs activities and potential liabilities are thoroughly examined. Detailed reports are prepared to provide investors with a clear risk map prior to the transaction.
Royalty payments, patent licenses, trademark use, and distribution agreements are key elements that directly affect customs valuation in taxation. Particularly within multinational corporations, numerous agreements concerning the transfer of intellectual property rights, trademark use in Türkiye, or cost-sharing between group companies are executed. Many of these agreements directly impact the customs value of imported goods.
During customs inspections, such agreements are frequently reviewed by auditors, and these evaluations often lead to additional assessments and administrative fines.
In this context, legal services are provided for the drafting and evaluation of intellectual and industrial property agreements, analysis of their customs implications, pre-emptive risk management, and representation in administrative and judicial proceedings where necessary.
Our goal is to safeguard our clients’ commercial rights while ensuring full compliance with customs legislation.
