Commercial law is the branch of law that regulates commercial enterprises, relations between merchants, the establishment and activities of companies, commercial contracts, negotiable instruments, and commercial disputes. Conducting commercial activities in compliance with the law, ensuring that contracts clearly reflect the parties’ intentions, and identifying potential risks in advance are important for the sustainability of businesses.

Company Law and Corporate Consultancy
At the establishment stage of companies, correctly determining the purpose of activity, capital structure, management form, and the rights and obligations between the partners 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 carried out, and capital changes and trade registry procedures must be conducted properly.
Attorney Yıldız Şahin provides consultancy services for the legal procedures required from the establishment of companies through their daily operations, restructuring, and dissolution. Internal company documents and resolutions are prepared, and legal processes aimed at resolving disputes between partners are followed.
Commercial Contracts
Commercial contracts are the fundamental legal documents that determine the scope of the business relationship between the parties and their mutual obligations. It is important to clearly regulate the subject matter of the contract, payment terms, delivery periods, guarantees, penalty clauses, grounds for termination, and dispute resolution methods.
Within this scope, contracts suitable for the parties’ commercial objectives and fields of activity are prepared; existing contracts are reviewed in terms of legal risks, liabilities, and enforceability. In the event of a breach of contract, processes concerning notices, termination, receivables, compensation, and other legal claims are conducted.
Partnership Disputes
Disputes may arise between company partners concerning management authority, profit shares, the right to receive information and inspect records, share transfers, capital obligations, or the use of company resources.
In such disputes, the company agreement, partnership structure, decisions made, and commercial records are examined, and the partners’ rights are assessed. Legal avenues such as the annulment of general assembly resolutions, the liability of managers, withdrawal from or expulsion from the partnership, and the dissolution of the company for just cause are addressed according to the circumstances of the specific case.
Commercial Disputes and Collection of Receivables
The failure to collect commercial receivables arising from the delivery of goods or services, breach of contract, current accounts, and negotiable instruments in a timely manner may affect the financial structure of businesses. Depending on the nature of the receivable, a notice, mediation, enforcement proceedings, or commercial litigation may be pursued.
In certain commercial disputes specified by law, applying to a mediator before filing a lawsuit is a condition of litigation. Therefore, the claims must be correctly determined, commercial documents must be prepared, and negotiations must be conducted by assessing 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 taking into consideration the continuity of companies’ operations and the commercial interests of the parties. 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 current legislation.
