Cross-border disputes demand counsel fluent in both the arbitration world and the local courts where awards live or die. We represent claimants and respondents in institutional and ad-hoc arbitrations, and we handle the stage many foreign parties underestimate: recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards and foreign judgments in Türkiye.
We also advise at the contract stage — a well-drafted arbitration clause is the cheapest dispute resolution you will ever buy.

Questions
Arbitration & Dispute Resolution — frequently asked
Our contract has an ICC clause. Why do we need Turkish counsel?
Because enforcement happens where the assets are. If your counterparty’s assets are in Türkiye, the award must be recognized and enforced by Turkish courts — a distinct proceeding with its own defenses and pitfalls.
How long does enforcement of an award take in Türkiye?
First-instance enforcement decisions typically take months rather than years, but appeals can extend the timeline. Interim attachment of assets at the outset protects the eventual recovery.
Do you act as arbitrator or counsel?
Our core work is party representation. We accept arbitrator appointments selectively where no conflict exists.
