 ELIG is one of the few Turkish law firms
that combines an international legal practice with a solid track-record
and knowledge of litigation before Turkish civil and administrative
courts.
Except for criminal law matters, ELIG is
well-equipped to handle all types of legal disputes before Turkish
courts and report to its clients in English, German or French.
The following types of cases are examples of those handled by the
litigation team of ELIG:
Litigation General
ELIG litigation team represents clients
in all types of civil cases, including unfair competition cases,
real estate disputes, shareholding disputes, bankruptcy and execution
proceedings, labor law cases.
Intellectual Property Litigation
ELIG secures and enforces the intellectual
property rights, including trade secrets, of its clients through
civil law cases. We have substantial experience in representing
clients in Turkish courts of various levels concerning intellectual
property infringement cases, and related compensation claims.
Administrative Law Matters
The Turkish State actively participates in markets as a regulator
as well as an independent player. The decisions, administrative
orders and actions of the State are increasingly subject to judicial
review in administrative courts.
ELIG has a high capability in administrative
law matters, as its team includes an expert on administrative law
with a significant academic background in this field.
Arbitration Related Litigation
ELIG has experience in actions concerning
the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards. Furthermore,
to the extent all disputes arising from a contract which contains
an arbitration clause cannot be resolved through arbitration due
to the mandatory provisions of Turkish law, ELIG is well able to engage in litigation in tandem with the
arbitration proceedings. For example, as a specific form of such
parallel litigation, ELIG is well equipped
to handle cases before Turkish courts in relation to obligations
of the shareholders under the articles of association simultaneously
with arbitration proceedings among the same parties arising from
a shareholders' agreement.
Competition Law Related Litigation
ELIG has significant experience in appealing
against the decisions of the Turkish Competition Board in the High
State Court (Danıştay) both on the merits of a case and for interim
measures applications. Furthermore, since the Turkish Competition
Law - which is otherwise modeled after the EU competition law regime
- includes a "treble damages clause" taken from the US
antitrust regime, we represent plaintiffs and defendants in competition
law related compensation actions before the Turkish civil courts
of all levels. |
