With our experience in commercial and private law, we offer comprehensive legal consultancy services covering all stages of a company’s lifecycle — from incorporation through all phases of its operations.
We provide our local and international clients with legal support on matters including company, branch, or liaison office incorporation, preparation of articles of association, establishment of a governance structure in line with corporate governance principles, conducting general assembly meetings, appointment of management and representation authorities, regular maintenance of company books, capital increases and decreases, dividend distribution, and insolvency assessment under balance sheet tests — primarily within the scope of corporate law.
Our corporate law services also cover shareholder agreements, inter-partner arrangements, and corporate restructurings.
Durmaz provides effective legal support to clients in the protection, management, and commercialization of intellectual property rights. We offer representation in registration, transfer, licensing, and opposition procedures related to trademarks, patents, designs, and copyrights, as well as in infringement and compensation litigation.
In addition, we offer contractual structuring and regulatory compliance advisory services in the field of information technologies, including software development projects, e-commerce platforms, digital content production, and the protection of personal data.
We aim to deliver reliable and sustainable solutions for creative and technology-driven business models.
Durmaz provides comprehensive and strategic legal consultancy to local and international clients operating in the capital markets. We support our clients in matters such as public offerings, bond and sukuk issuances, structured finance products, and investment fund transactions, with the aim of ensuring regulatory compliance and minimizing legal risks.
We assist issuers, brokerage firms, portfolio management companies, and other market participants by offering tailored solutions and standing by our clients at every stage of the process, backed by our up-to-date expertise on Capital Markets Board (CMB) regulations, practices, and case law.
Durmaz offers a legal approach in family law disputes that is mindful not only of the legal complexities but also of the emotional sensitivities involved.

Thanks to our practical experience and in-depth knowledge of current case law, we provide reliable guidance and effective representation in complex legal matters arising from family relationships.
Durmaz represents its clients effectively in commercial disputes arising both locally and internationally. We provide strategic legal support throughout the entire dispute resolution process — from preventing disputes before they arise, to resolving them at an early stage, or ultimately pursuing litigation or arbitration when necessary.
In complex disputes encountered in the business and commercial world — including litigation arising from commercial contracts, shareholder and partnership conflicts, and disputes stemming from construction and real estate projects — we offer services across a wide spectrum, especially in matters specific to companies’ private law situations.
Taking into account each client’s commercial goals and priorities, we provide not only litigation services but also consultancy on risk analysis, settlement, and alternative dispute resolution methods. We adopt a solution-oriented and proactive approach at every stage of the process.

We support our clients in the preparation, negotiation, and closing of agreements related to bank loans, project financing, syndicated loans, financial leasing, and the structuring of security and collateral arrangements.
Given the complexity of financial transactions, we deliver legally sound and commercially viable solutions tailored to the goals of both lenders and borrowers. We also assist our clients in financial restructuring processes and in developing legal strategies in cases of loan defaults.
We take an active role at every stage of the process to ensure compliance with regulations, effective risk management, and transaction security — enabling our clients to carry out their financial transactions with confidence.

We offer comprehensive services in matters such as cartel behavior, abuse of dominant market positions, vertical and horizontal agreements, and notifications to the Competition Authority for mergers and acquisitions.
We analyze the competition law aspects of our clients’ day-to-day commercial activities, proactively identifying risks and developing tailored compliance programs. In preliminary investigations and inquiries conducted by the Competition Authority, we represent companies and strategically assess settlement, undertaking, and effective remorse mechanisms.
Regarding mergers and acquisitions, we focus on ensuring that our clients’ transactions are completed without delay by managing the process of notifying the Competition Board and obtaining the necessary approvals efficiently.

We develop tailored solutions for our clients across various sectors in areas such as the preparation of internal policies and procedures, establishment of ethical guidelines, anti-bribery and anti-money laundering compliance, data protection, and sustainability.
For both local and multinational companies, we aim not only to ensure regulatory compliance but also to safeguard corporate reputation — by offering a holistic compliance approach that includes risk assessments, internal audits, employee training, and oversight of third-party relationships.
Durmaz provides legal consultancy to clients in the areas of tax planning, audit process management, and resolution of tax disputes.

In both domestic and international transactions, we identify tax risks in advance and offer preventive legal solutions.
