Company Law and Corporate Consultancy
At the establishment stage of companies, correctly determining the business purpose, capital structure, management model and the rights and obligations of the shareholders helps prevent disputes that may arise in the future.
During company operations, general assembly and board of directors resolutions must be prepared in compliance with the legislation, share transfers must be completed, and capital changes and trade registry procedures must be carried out correctly.
Attorney Yıldız Şahin provides consultancy on the legal procedures required from the establishment of companies through their daily activities, restructuring and termination. Internal company documents and resolutions are prepared, and legal proceedings aimed at resolving disputes between shareholders are followed.
Commercial Contracts
Commercial contracts are the fundamental legal documents defining the scope of the business relationship between the parties and their reciprocal obligations. It is important to regulate clearly the subject matter of the contract, payment terms, delivery periods, security, penalty clauses, grounds for termination and dispute resolution methods.
In this context, contracts are prepared in accordance with the parties’ commercial objectives and fields of activity; existing contracts are reviewed in terms of legal risks, liabilities and enforceability. In the event of a breach of contract, proceedings concerning notices, termination, receivables, compensation and other legal claims are conducted.
Shareholder Disputes
Disputes may arise between company shareholders concerning management authority, dividends, the right to obtain information and inspect records, share transfers, capital obligations or the use of company resources.
In such disputes, the company agreement, shareholding structure, resolutions adopted and commercial records are examined, and the shareholders’ rights are evaluated. Legal remedies such as annulment of general assembly resolutions, the liability of managers, withdrawal or expulsion from the company and dissolution of the company for just cause are considered according to the circumstances of the specific case.
Commercial Disputes and Collection of Receivables
Failure to collect commercial receivables arising from the delivery of goods or services, breach of contract, current accounts or negotiable instruments in a timely manner may affect the financial structure of businesses. Depending on the nature of the receivable, a formal notice, mediation, enforcement proceedings or a commercial action may be pursued.
In certain commercial disputes specified by law, applying to a mediator before filing an action is a condition of litigation. Accordingly, claims must be properly determined, commercial documents must be prepared, and negotiations must be conducted after evaluating their legal consequences.
Attorney Yıldız Şahin handles transactions and disputes arising from commercial law in accordance with the principles of legal security, confidentiality and due care, while safeguarding the continuity of companies’ activities and the parties’ commercial interests. Since each commercial transaction and dispute is unique, the legal course to be followed is determined within the framework of the circumstances of the specific case and the applicable legislation.
