A projects and disputes practice in Turkey
Ulutürk Attorney Partnership is a Turkish practice offering a broad range of commercial legal services, with a clear emphasis on major projects and cross-border commercial activity. Its practice areas span construction projects, energy projects, arbitration, international trade and commodities, transportation and logistics, maritime law, banking and finance, corporate law and mergers and acquisitions, capital markets and competition law, tax, intellectual property, labour and employment, compliance and sanctions, and the enforcement of foreign arbitration and court decisions. This combination positions the firm to support clients on both the transactional and the contentious sides of large commercial undertakings.
The firm operates in Turkey, a country whose geographic position and active construction and infrastructure sector make it an important market for projects work. A practice that brings together construction, energy, transportation and arbitration expertise is well suited to the demands of major developments, which frequently raise overlapping questions across all of these fields.
Construction law at the centre of the practice
Construction is one of the firm's core areas, and it is the field in which Ceren İşcioğlu Ulutürk has been recognised. Construction projects are among the most legally complex commercial endeavours: they involve multiple parties — employers, contractors, subcontractors, financiers, designers and suppliers — bound together by interlocking contracts, and they unfold over long periods during which delay, variation, payment and quality issues commonly arise. Advising in this area calls for command of construction contracts and the ability to manage the disputes that so often accompany them.
The firm's strength in arbitration and in the enforcement of arbitral awards is a natural complement to its construction practice. Construction disputes are frequently resolved through arbitration, particularly where international parties or cross-border projects are involved, and the ability to combine sector knowledge with dispute-resolution capability is a significant advantage for clients. The firm's related expertise in energy, transportation and international trade further supports its work on large infrastructure and development projects.
