Learn more →Lexin Legal is a full-service Istanbul law firm. Foreign businesses come to us first for commercial and corporate work — contracts, company formation, M&A and recovering money owed in Türkiye — and stay with us for everything else that operating or living here involves, from property and residence to family matters and disputes. Whatever brought you to this page, you work with one English-speaking team on a fixed fee agreed before we start.
Commercial & Contract Law, Corporate & M&A, Company Formation and Debt Collection & Enforcement form the backbone of our practice for foreign companies trading with or operating in Türkiye.
Real Estate and Turkish Citizenship by Investment — secure property purchases and the investment route to a Turkish passport.
Residence Permit & Immigration and Deportation & Entry Ban — staying in the country lawfully, and challenging a refusal or removal when it goes wrong.
Divorce & Family Law and Inheritance & Succession — cross-border family and estate matters handled with discretion.
Criminal Defense, Medical Malpractice and Sports Law — defending your position or claiming the compensation you are owed.
Yes. While foreign businesses know us best for commercial, corporate and debt-recovery work, we handle the full range of Turkish law that foreigners and companies need — property, residence and immigration, family, inheritance, criminal defence and more — so you rarely need a second firm.
Both. Our core is foreign companies and investors, but we also act for individuals on property, residence, family and other personal matters. The common thread is that our clients are foreign and want clear advice in English.
Almost always. Most clients instruct us remotely by email and video call and grant a Turkish power of attorney, which lets us act on their behalf — filing, negotiating and appearing — without them having to travel.
Wherever the matter allows, we give a fixed or capped fee agreed in writing before we start, so you know the cost up front with no hourly surprises.
We advise in English, Turkish, French, Russian and Chinese, so you can deal with your lawyer in your own language.
Tell us your commercial, corporate or personal matter and get a clear, fixed-fee answer from a real Turkish lawyer — usually within one business day.
