Letter of Intent (LOI)

"Is an LOI legally binding in Turkey?"

Quick Answer

A preliminary document outlining the basic terms and understandings of an anticipated contract or M&A transaction before a binding final agreement is drafted.

Scope and Legal Distinctions

An LOI can contain binding provisions even if the contemplated deal remains non-binding. Exclusivity, confidentiality, costs and governing-law clauses need their own assessment.

What to Check in Practice

State which clauses bind, the expiry and conditions for the final transaction; do not treat the document's title as deciding its legal effect.
