Contract Law and Consultancy
Contracts are the fundamental legal tools that secure your business and private relationships. Clearly defining rights and obligations from the beginning prevents future disputes and minimizes your risks.
Every commercial relationship has its own dynamics. Instead of using ready-made templates from the internet, contracts tailored specifically to your business and needs provide a much safer legal ground.
At Zeynep Elif Kirişçi Law Firm, we offer services in drafting contracts, reviewing and revising existing documents, and conducting negotiation processes for companies, start-ups, investors, and individuals.
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA)
A company's most valuable assets are its know-how, customer network, trade secrets, and business models. Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) are of great importance to secure your ideas and projects.
Areas where we frequently use NDAs:
Software development and integration processes
Start-up investment negotiations
New business partnerships and commercial presentations
Relationships with employees, freelancers, and consultants
Service Agreements
It is mandatory to clarify the boundaries of the relationships you establish with your clients or external service providers.
In our service agreements, we carefully regulate the following details:
The exact scope of the service and delivery times
Pricing, payment plan, and default interest
Termination conditions and compensation rights
Limitation of liability and force majeure situations
Distributorship and Dealership Agreements
Dealership networks established to deliver your products to different regions are long-term and complex commercial relationships. To ensure this process proceeds safely, we detailedly record matters such as regional authorities, exclusivity rights, non-compete clauses, trademark usage, and return conditions in the contracts.
Legal Infrastructure for Start-ups
Most legal problems experienced in the entrepreneurship ecosystem stem from not establishing a solid contract infrastructure at the very beginning. Properly drafted contracts determine the rights among co-founders, accelerate the investment process (Due Diligence), and protect the company's intellectual property rights.
