For many foreign investors, Türkiye is attractive not only as a consumer market but also as a procurement market. Infrastructure, municipal services, defence-adjacent supply chains, healthcare, IT systems, and energy-related works frequently involve public tenders where contract sizes can be large and payment risk may appear more structured than purely private projects. Yet the opportunity […]
Foreign investors in technology, fintech, e-commerce, manufacturing, and even energy increasingly discover that legal risk is not limited to permits and contracts; it also sits inside data flows. Customer databases, employee records, supplier portals, cloud hosting, and analytics tools can create exposure that materially affects valuation, regulatory credibility, and post-closing integration. In this environment, Data […]
Foreign investors entering Türkiye often focus on capital deployment, tax efficiency, and commercial contracts. Yet many projects fail or slow down for a simpler reason: the investor cannot legally mobilise the people who must operate the business. In practice, Work Permit Turkey compliance is a strategic investment issue because it determines whether executives, technical specialists, […]
Foreign investors increasingly view Türkiye as a strategically located energy market with growing demand, strong project-development know-how, and a maturing contractual ecosystem. Yet the decisive issue in any Renewable Energy Investment in Turkey is not the headline capacity or the attractiveness of the resource; it is whether the project can be delivered on time, connected […]
Foreign investors are often attracted to Türkiye because it offers scale, industrial depth, and regional access; however, the decisive question is rarely whether the market is promising. Instead, the investment decision typically turns on whether the investor can achieve legal certainty on three fronts: (i) clean title to shares and assets, (ii) predictable cash extraction […]
Foreign investors entering Türkiye often assume that incorporation documents alone will protect their rights. In reality, most investment outcomes are determined not by the articles of association, but by the private governance contract that sits behind the cap table: Shareholder Agreement Turkey documentation and, where relevant, a tailored joint venture (JV) structure. A well-drafted shareholder […]
For foreign investors evaluating Türkiye, ESG is no longer a branding exercise; it is an investment variable that influences valuation, financing conditions, and exit optionality. In this environment, TSRS compliance (Türkiye Sustainability Reporting Standards) has become a practical benchmark for whether a target can produce reliable, decision-grade sustainability information. Investors increasingly treat TSRS readiness as […]
Türkiye’s investment incentives framework was substantially restructured through Decree No. 9903, published in the Official Gazette on 30 May 2025. The reform reorganised the incentive architecture around technology upgrading, regional development, and strategic capacity building, while maintaining the “investment incentive certificate” as the principal gateway to benefits. For foreign investors, the key issue is not […]
In wholesale power markets, standardised documentation is not a luxury; it is a risk-control device. For cross-border traders, suppliers, and large consumers, the EFET Electricity Trading Agreement is frequently the preferred framework because it offers a familiar allocation of credit risk, delivery risk, and close-out mechanics. However, “using EFET” is not the same as “being […]
Electricity trading and supply are rarely governed by a single contract. In practice, market participants rely on a portfolio of agreements that allocate operational, regulatory, and financial risk across different layers of the value chain. This is where Electricity Market Contracts become strategically important: they translate market mechanics—metering, settlement, imbalance, network constraints, and credit exposure—into […]
