Foundations and Institutional Structures · Istanbul
Clarify the Legal Basis of Your Organisation's Decisions and Transactions
A resolution in your foundation or association may be challenged, signing authority disputed or a property transaction planned. We examine founding documents, resolutions and transaction records together. The written assessment explains documentary gaps, authority questions and next-step options.
The review is a paid service. We confirm scope, fees and the delivery date in writing before starting.
Your Matter
Are Decision-Making Procedures or Powers in Dispute?
An organisation's founding document, governing-body resolutions and asset transactions may affect one another. We first identify the specific transaction, authorised persons and questions to resolve.
There Is a Dispute About an Administrative Resolution
How a resolution was passed or its compliance with the founding document is disputed. You want to understand the options available to the organisation and persons involved.
Representative Authority Is Unclear
You are unsure who should sign a contract, which resolution is required or how an existing transaction affects the organisation.
A Property or Institutional Asset Transaction Is Planned
You are considering a letting, contract, transfer or other asset transaction. You want its relationship with the founding purpose and existing records examined.
Case Review
Which Documents Do We Read Together?
The foundation or association category, founding document and proposed transaction define the review scope. We address the characteristics of the particular structure rather than applying one solution to every institution.
- 01
Founding Document and Governing-Body Structure
We examine the foundation deed, constitution, amendments and current governing bodies together, identifying connections between the founding purpose and administration and representation arrangements.
- 02
Administration and Representation Resolutions
We assess meeting and resolution records, appointment and authority documents and the disputed transaction. Missing records and questions requiring answers are identified in writing.
- 03
Real Estate and Contracts
We read title and lease records and related contracts alongside the founding document and resolutions, addressing the parties, obligations and effect on institutional assets.
- 04
Remedy Options and Sequence of Steps
We explain options and priority steps after examining the dispute, institutional correspondence and any pending case. A written second opinion may also be prepared for an ongoing file.
Preparing Your Enquiry
What Can You Summarise in Your Initial Enquiry?
Briefly state the organisation's category, your connection to it and the resolution or transaction you want reviewed. We clarify the documents' scope after assessing suitability.
- A brief list of founding documents and amendments
- Relevant board, general assembly or other governing-body resolutions
- Information about representation and authority documents
- A short summary of property, contracts and institutional correspondence
- Any case number, service or approaching procedural date
You do not need to send the entire institutional archive in your first message. We define the documents and transmission arrangements alongside the written scope.
Formation and Institutional Arrangements
Complete Formation, Governance and Representation Documents
Establishing a foundation or amending an existing founding document may also be reviewed. We do not assume that foundations, associations and other institutions have identical governing-body and transaction rules. We first identify the entity category, purpose and relevant documents.
Formation and Registration Preparation
The foundation's purpose, assets to be allocated, governing-body structure and draft deed are assessed together. Documents for formation and registration and procedures for changing purpose or bodies are examined separately. A board resolution cannot be said automatically to complete every deed amendment or create tax exemption.
Meeting and Decision-Making Arrangements
Notice, agenda, attendance and resolution records are compared with the founding document. Allocation of duties, delegation, related-party transactions and conflicts-of-interest records are assessed. Gaps in administrative notifications, internal audit and institutional correspondence are identified according to the institution's category.
Limits of Representative Authority
Governing-body resolutions, signature documents and powers of attorney are read together. The scope and duration of authority, the end of an administrator's appointment and the proposed transaction's nature are examined. Differences between documents presented to counterparties and internal authority arrangements are clarified separately.
The review is a paid service. Work scope and delivery schedule are defined in writing before starting; institutional procedures and representation are agreed separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions Before Enquiring
Is the Same Review Used for Foundations and Associations?
The review method depends on the organisation's category, founding document and transaction. Foundation deeds, association constitutions and associated resolutions are considered within their own frameworks.
Can We Have a Single Administrative Resolution Reviewed?
Yes. A request may be limited to a specific resolution, representative authority or contract. Necessary connected records and questions are defined in the written scope.
Can We Obtain a Second Opinion on an Ongoing Institutional Dispute?
Yes. We can review existing documents and litigation or application proceedings within the agreed scope. We provide a written assessment, priority steps and a review meeting; any representation is agreed separately.
Describe the Resolution or Transaction You Want Reviewed
Briefly share the organisation's category, your connection to the matter, the current problem and known critical dates. After assessing suitability, we will send the proposed work, fee and schedule in writing.
