Companies and Shareholding · Istanbul
Identify the Way Forward for Your Company or Shareholder Dispute
Do you disagree with your business partner about a share transfer, management, access to information or leaving the company? We examine company records, agreements and resolutions and explain your current position, missing documents and available routes in writing. You can then understand which steps arise, and why, before negotiations or proceedings.
The review is a paid service. We set out its scope, fee and delivery date in writing before starting.
Your Matter
Where Does the Dispute Begin?
A disagreement may concern a single resolution or affect company shares, management and personal receivables together. We first distinguish which relationship and document are decisive.
Shares and Agreements Are Unclear
There may be conflicting accounts of a share transfer, payment or shareholders' agreement. We compare the recorded ownership position with the rights asserted by the parties.
Management Decisions Affect Your Rights
You may disagree with a resolution, be unable to access information or question how representation powers are exercised. We consider the resolution, its grounds and notified dates together.
You Are Unsure How to Continue as a Shareholder
Leaving, transferring shares or continuing by agreement may have different consequences. We assess your request, the company structure and existing disputes together.
File Review
What Does the Paid Review Cover?
You may request a paid review before a new formation, share transfer or shareholder transaction. For ongoing proceedings, we can prepare a written second opinion on existing claims, defences and evidence. Our written assessment brings together the decisive documents, potential objections from the other party, gaps and options for the next step.

Preparing Your Enquiry
Which Documents May Be Needed?
A short summary is sufficient for the initial enquiry. After assessing suitability, we request documents according to the agreed review scope.
- Articles of association and relevant amendments
- Trade registry records and relevant notices
- Share transfer agreements or agreements between shareholders
- Relevant management, general meeting or shareholders' meeting resolutions
- Payment records and relevant correspondence
- Any pleadings, reports, decisions and service documents
Mention any approaching meeting, service or hearing date in your initial summary.
Formation and Corporate Organisation
Examine Formation, Agreements and Management Arrangements Together
Alongside existing shareholder disputes, we can review documents before formation or investment. We assess the agreements, resolutions and representation powers of a proposed or operating company together with your intended transaction.
Before Formation and Investment
The business purpose, company type, capital contributions and initial management structure are addressed together. Gaps between the formation agreement, shareholders' agreement and any previously signed investment or lease documents are identified. Document and signature steps required for MERSİS and registry preparation are checked separately.
Agreements and Authority Arrangements
The articles of association and shareholders' agreement are read together. General meeting, board or manager resolutions are compared with internal regulations, allocation of duties and representation records. Deadlock, joint signature and conflicts of interest are assessed through the relevant transactions and documents.
Pre-emption, tag-along and drag-along rights, put and call options and veto arrangements in shareholders' agreements are assessed alongside the law, articles of association and corporate powers. Transaction and value limits in representation documents, joint signature requirements and any A/B/C signatory groups are compared with internal regulations and registry records. The effect of internal authority limits on transactions with third parties is examined separately.
Capital and Restructuring
If a capital increase or reduction, share acquisition, merger, division or conversion is contemplated, existing rights, approvals, resolutions and recording requirements are examined. Financial valuations and technical calculations are considered with relevant specialist work where necessary. The scope of legal review is distinguished from registry, tax and implementation services.
The review is a paid service. The work scope and delivery timetable are set out in writing before starting; authority procedures and representation are agreed separately.
