TERCAN LEGAL is an independent Turkish law firm based in Istanbul’s financial center. Since 2011, blending the experience we have accumulated with a contemporary outlook, we provide end-to-end legal consultancy and representation services to national and international companies, holding companies, and financial institutions.

Right in the heart of Istanbul, we grew up listening to the stories of people arriving from every corner of the world. This city is exactly that kind of place: a crossroads where East meets West, old meets new, and formality meets warmth, all at the same table. We stand right at that crossroads too — on one side, the sharp and meticulous discipline of the German-Swiss legal tradition; on the other, the familiar, genuine warmth of the Middle East and Istanbul.

We stand by everyone who has business with Turkey. We stand by exporters and importers who need advice on trading with Turkish parties; by those who want to buy, sell, or lease real estate; by those who want to establish a company, obtain residency, or become a citizen; by those seeking support with tax and customs procedures; by those facing an issue at customs, in court, or with the police; by those who cannot collect a debt owed to them; and by every victim of injustice. We have stood by you until today, and we will continue to stand by you from now on.

We work together with numerous academics, experts, and international law firms; we cooperate with offices established in the USA, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, Iran, and China. Together with our tax and social security advisors, and the trusted partner offices we work with, we manage each matter from start to finish under one roof. The client walks through one door, and we take care of the rest.

We have clients we can reference from more than 70 countries. This did not come to us by chance — it is the result of working transparently and keeping our word. We provide services in nearly every language needed, primarily Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Persian, Spanish, French, and English; because legal assurance only finds its true meaning when it is spoken in a language that is understood.
