This is the kind of matter we bring before the European Court of Human Rights, UN treaty bodies such as the Human Rights Committee and the Committee against Torture, and UN special procedures such as the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention — including the INTERPOL CCF complaints and asylum-related work that often runs in parallel.
This can involve any Turkish court or public authority — civil, criminal, administrative, commercial, family, labour, tax, enforcement, or a regulator. After (or alongside) those proceedings we can also take the matter to appeal, cassation, and, where the conditions are met, an individual application to the Constitutional Court (AYM). We handle the contract, criminal, family, corporate, and administrative issues that often sit next to a ruling like this.
This falls under work permits, family reunion, company establishment and diploma recognition — the German and EU side of what we handle, including founder and employee mobility from third countries.
This is our data-protection practice: GDPR and EU compliance and documentation, external DPO services, data processing agreements and international transfers — including the privacy-by-design and risk work that sits next to those files.
This is the work we do between the German, Turkish and EU systems: commercial and contractual disputes, cross-border debt collection and enforcement of judgments, shareholder and joint-venture conflicts, and ongoing counsel on risk, forum and investment structuring.

Yes. Much of our work is cross-border by nature. We regularly support clients navigating disputes or transactions spanning Turkish, German, and other European jurisdictions.
