Precision & Trust: Legal Counsel for Japanese Investors

We understand the importance of reliability and long-term partnership. Our team provides precise legal support for Japanese companies establishing manufacturing, submitting public tenders, or forming joint ventures in Türkiye.

Bridge to the Turkish Market

Turkey and Japan share deep historical ties. We strengthen this bond by offering Japanese investors transparent, compliant, and detailed legal guidance ensuring smooth business operations.

Joint Ventures & M&A

Entering the Turkish market often involves strategic partnerships. We draft comprehensive Shareholder Agreements (SHA) and Joint Venture contracts, ensuring minority rights protection, clear exit strategies, and governance structures that align with Japanese corporate standards.

Corporate Compliance & Ethics

We recognize the high value Japanese companies place on compliance (compliance with anti-bribery laws, GDPR/KVKK, competition law). Our team designs internal compliance programs and conducts regular audits to ensure your Turkish subsidiary operates with full integrity.

Manufacturing & Labor Law

For industrial investments, understanding Turkish Labor Law is critical. We assist with employment contracts, union relations, and workplace safety regulations (OHS), minimizing liability and creating a stable work environment for your manufacturing facilities.

Intellectual Property Protection

Protecting your technology and brand is paramount. We manage trademark and patent registrations effectively before the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office and initiate swift legal action against counterfeiters or IP infringement to safeguard your market position.

Preparing a Japan Transaction for Türkiye

For Japanese investors, obtain the appropriate certificate of registered company information from the Legal Affairs Bureau and evidence of the representative's authority. A registered-seal certificate may be relevant to execution; confirm the required documents and Turkish-use authentication before signing.

Documents for the First Review

Provide the current corporate record, constitutional documents, signatory authority and the contract or project description. Agree the required authentication and Turkish translation with the receiving court, registry or authority before execution. An apostille authenticates a public document; it does not establish the underlying transaction’s validity or corporate authority.

Japanese Corporate Authority and Turkish Execution

Start with the certificate of registered information and the corporate approval or representative authority for the proposed act. Confirm whether a seal certificate, notarised instrument or other evidence is required by the particular receiving office. Arrange authentication and the required Turkish translation before sending originals.

For an investment, separate incorporation, banking and sector permissions. For a supplier claim, preserve specifications, delivery evidence, defects and payment records; the forum clause and asset location determine the enforcement plan. A Japanese judgment, an arbitral award and a Turkish enforcement action follow different procedures.

Sources & Authorities
