Commercial Law

What is Commercial Law and Why Does It Require Expertise?

Commercial Law is built upon companies, contracts, and commercial relations, which form the backbone of economic life.

Every commercial transaction, if not managed correctly, can lead to serious disputes in the future.

At SVK Law, with our structure based in Izmir and Bursa, we provide legal security, risk management, and strategic consultancy services to our clients in all sub-fields of commercial law.

Our goal for corporate firms, entrepreneurs, and investors is not just to win lawsuits but to take precautions before problems arise.

Company Formation and Legal Consultancy

Establishing a company on solid foundations is the guarantee of the entire future legal process. We provide services in company formation, preparation of articles of association, trade registry procedures, and planning of the partnership structure.

Services Provided:

  • Company formation and registration

  • Preparation of Articles of Association

  • Partnership structure and share transfer agreements

  • Board of Directors and General Assembly consultancy

  • Trade Registry procedures

In every step, a legal risk analysis is conducted to protect client interests.

Drafting and Auditing of Commercial Contracts

Commercial contracts are the most critical documents in the business world. A missing, ambiguous, or unlawful clause can lead to high compensation risks. As SVK Law, we offer contract drafting, revision, and negotiation support specific to every sector.

Contract Types:

  • Sales and supply contracts

  • Dealership and distributorship agreements

  • Franchise agreements

  • Service and consultancy contracts

  • NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreements) and Non-Compete agreements

All prepared contracts are structured in compliance with both the Turkish Code of Obligations and the Turkish Commercial Code.

Commercial Disputes and Litigation Processes

By the nature of commercial life, disputes are sometimes inevitable. At this stage, the right litigation strategy is vital for the continuity of the business.

Common Lawsuits:

  • Commercial receivables and compensation lawsuits

  • Violation of non-compete clauses

  • Breach of contract and penal clauses

  • Inter-company debt and collateral disputes

  • Execution and bankruptcy processes

For every lawsuit, a defense plan is prepared by analyzing evidence, contracts, correspondence, and financial reports.

Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution

In national and international trade, arbitration is a faster and more confidential solution method compared to classical judiciary processes. SVK Law is experienced in ISTAC (Istanbul Arbitration Center) rules and international arbitration standards.

Arbitration Processes:

  • Drafting arbitration clauses

  • Selection of arbitrators and preparation of defense files

  • Enforcement and recognition of awards

  • We also provide representation on behalf of the client in commercial mediation processes.

Execution, Bankruptcy, and Concordat Processes

This is one of the most critical processes for companies experiencing payment difficulties in the business world. The aim is to collect the client’s receivables in the fastest and most harmless way or to ensure appropriate restructuring for the debtor party.

Services Provided:

  • Debt collection and enforcement proceedings

  • Removal of objection and negative declaratory actions (Menfi Tespit)

  • Concordat application and follow-up

  • Bankruptcy postponement consultancy

SVK Law not only follows up on enforcement files but also applies a strategic collection plan based on economic analysis.

Inter-Company Share Transfers and M&A Processes

Corporate transformation processes are sensitive issues in terms of both commerce and tax. Compliance with CMB (Capital Markets Board), TCC (Turkish Commercial Code), and tax legislation is mandatory in transactions such as share transfer, merger, and demerger.

  • A risk analysis report is prepared for every transaction, and the entire process is documented.

  • In this way, the client is under legal assurance at every step.
