Anti Dumping Investigation against China India and Malaysia

Türkiye has launched a new phase of trade defense enforcement with the initiation of an anti-dumping sunset review investigation targeting polyester imports from China, India, and Malaysia. Published under Communiqué No. 2025/45, this process carries direct commercial implications for importers, exporters, and domestic manufacturers operating in the polyester supply chain.

As existing anti-dumping duties remain in force throughout the investigation, affected businesses face strict compliance obligations, tight procedural deadlines, and potential exposure to revised trade measures. Understanding the legal framework, scope of products under review, and strategic response options is therefore critical for maintaining market access and minimizing regulatory risk.

This article provides a structured overview of the investigation, its legal basis, and its practical impact on stakeholders involved in cross-border polyester trade.

Published in the Official Gazette dated 9 December 2025 and numbered 33102, the Board’s Decision No. 2025/2120 establishes a clear compliance benchmark by drawing a decisive line between statutorily mandated identity notification and unlawful excessive data processing.

Solving Disputes in Turkey: Litigation, Arbitration, and Legal Strategy

In the world of business, disputes are inevitable. Whether it is a breach of contract, a debt collection issue, or an employment conflict, how you handle these disputes determines your company's longevity. In Turkey, the legal system can be slow and complex, which is why having a powerful law firm in Turkey by your side is crucial for a favorable outcome.

The Strategic Value of Ankara

For high-stakes cases, especially those involving administrative decisions, tax penalties, or appellate court reviews, a law firm in Ankara is your best ally. The Council of State (Danıştay) and the Constitutional Court are based in Ankara. If your case goes to the highest levels of the judiciary, an Ankara law firm is best positioned to manage the process. Their physical presence in the capital allows for faster submission of petitions and better monitoring of case files.

Litigation vs. Mediation

Turkey has recently introduced mandatory mediation for commercial and labor disputes to reduce court workloads. A skilled Turkish law firm knows how to use this mechanism effectively to settle disputes quickly and cost-effectively. However, if mediation fails, you need a battle-hardened litigation team. This is where the distinction of your legal partner matters. A law firm in Turkey with strong litigation experience can navigate the procedural nuances of Turkish courts to protect your rights.

International Arbitration

For foreign companies, local courts are not always the preferred venue. Many contracts include arbitration clauses. An international law firm in Turkey excels in this arena. They are familiar with the rules of international arbitration bodies (like ICC or ISTAC) and can represent you in English. An international law firm in Turkey ensures that the arbitration award is not only won but also successfully enforced in Turkey.

Protecting Your Interests

A Turkish law firm also plays a preventative role. By drafting solid contracts and conducting risk assessments, they prevent disputes before they arise. Whether it is an intellectual property violation or a shareholder dispute, the proactive approach of a law firm in Ankara can save you years of litigation.

Final

Don't wait for a lawsuit to find a lawyer. Establish a relationship with a strong law firm in Turkey today. Whether you need the global expertise of an international law firm in Turkey or the high-court experience of an Ankara law firm, professional legal support is your best insurance policy.

November Bulletin Pi Legal Consultancy

Pi Legal Consultancy’s Article Series Continues to Shape the Legal Landscape in Turkey and Beyond

Pi Legal Consultancy (PiLC), a leading cross-border law firm in Turkey, continues to publish cutting-edge legal articles, sector insights, and high-level analyses designed to guide foreign investors, corporations, and international institutions. As part of its ongoing News, Insights & Legal Alerts series, PiLC provides reliable, research-driven content that supports decision-makers navigating Turkey’s dynamic regulatory environment.

Our October 2025 article focuses on a central topic for international businesses: debt collection in Turkey. This in-depth piece addresses the key questions foreign creditors face when initiating enforcement proceedings and highlights the critical importance of establishing a robust and well-designed debt collection strategy at the outset. The article stresses that the viability of enforcement in Turkey depends heavily on whether the debtor—or in corporate cases, the debtor company—is still active, accessible, and capable of satisfying a forcible seizure. It also warns that if the company has ceased operations or its representatives cannot be identified, the chances of successful recovery may significantly diminish. In some scenarios involving fraud or misrepresentation of company identity or trademarks, the article notes that pursuing a criminal complaint may be far more effective than classical debt collection procedures.

Alongside this publication, PiLC continues to release legal alerts covering the most recent regulatory developments in Turkey. One of our latest alerts analyzes the newly introduced Turkish Banking Green Asset Reporting Obligation, enacted through the Communiqué published in the Official Gazette on 11 April 2025. This Communiqué establishes the Green Asset Ratio (GAR) as a new performance indicator and introduces comprehensive documentation, classification, and reporting obligations for banks. It marks a pivotal step in aligning the Turkish banking system with global sustainability frameworks and accelerating the country’s green financial transition.

Another PiLC legal alert examines the 2025 Turkey Investment Plan, announced by YOİKK. This analysis provides foreign investors and stakeholders with an essential overview of the Plan’s structure, scope, and anticipated impact on Turkey’s investment climate.

Pi Legal Consultancy is also proud to serve as a long-term advisor to high-profile international organizations, including the European Commission in its case concerning the enforcement and recognition of foreign court judgments in Turkey. Furthermore, PiLC has made a significant contribution to the 2025 World Bank B-READY Project, offering technical insights on company formation, licensing, and registration obligations for foreign direct investment. In recognition of this contribution, PiLC has been honored with the World Bank Group Certificate of Appreciation.

PiLC’s sustained performance, client satisfaction, and thought leadership have earned the firm multiple international awards. These include recognition by Prestige Awards Group as the International Law Firm of the Year, the 2024 Global Recognition Award, and the Banking and Finance Law Experts of the Year award by Global Law Experts. In 2025, PiLC was further named Finance Law Firm of the Year by the Corporate LiveWire Group, reflecting its exceptional advisory capabilities in Turkey’s complex financial and regulatory ecosystem.

In parallel, Pi Legal Consultancy continues to publish News, Insights, and Legal Alerts addressing the latest regulatory developments in Turkey—including a detailed commentary on Turkey’s 2025 Investment Plan, highlighting significant amendments and critical investment clauses relevant to global investors and Turkish business lawyers.

PiLC’s long-term consultation and international credibility have been reinforced through its advisory role to the European Commission on the enforcement and recognition of foreign court judgments in Turkey, and its significant contribution to the World Bank’s 2025 Business Ready (B-READY) Report, analyzing corporate formation, licensing obligations, and investment frameworks.

Turkey Just Launched Mandatory Green Asset Reporting for Banks 🌿🇹🇷

Big shift in Turkish finance. On April 11, 2025, Turkey published the Communiqué on the Calculation of Green Assets of Banks, officially activating the nation’s first Green Asset Reporting Obligation.

This new rule tracks how much banks actually support environmentally sustainable economic activities. The core metric? ➡️ Green Asset Ratio — the share of eligible green assets within a bank’s balance sheet.

Banks must now build strong systems for: • Documentation & classification • Monitoring & verification • Full sustainability reporting

The BDDK (Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency) will enforce the rules and define environmental criteria like climate change mitigation, circular economy transition, pollution control, and biodiversity protection.

This is more than a regulation — it marks the start of a green transition in Turkey's banking system. Green finance is no longer optional. It’s compliance. It’s strategy. It’s the future.

LLC or JSC in Turkey? Choosing the Right Structure for Your Business

When setting up a business in Turkey, the very first strategic decision you'll face is choosing the right legal entity. For most foreign investors, the choice boils down to two main options: the Limited Liability Company (LLC or Limited Şirket) and the Joint-Stock Company (JSC or Anonim Şirket).

Making the right choice is critical because it impacts your minimum capital requirements, shareholder liability, management flexibility, and future fundraising potential.

LLCs are generally more flexible and suitable for SMEs and startups, requiring less initial capital (50,000 TRY). However, shareholders can be personally liable for public debts.

JSCs are designed for larger operations, require more capital (250,000 TRY), but offer better liability protection for shareholders and easier share transfers, making them ideal for companies seeking external investment or planning an IPO.

Which one is right for your venture? The answer depends on your specific business model and long-term goals. We've created a detailed comparison table and explored the pros and cons of each structure in our complete guide to company formation in Turkey.

➡️ Make the right choice from day one. Read our full analysis here:

Finding Your Legal Partner in Turkey: Beyond Just Language

For foreign nationals and international businesses, engaging with the Turkish legal system presents a dual challenge. The first is navigating a legal framework that can be fundamentally different from their home country's, with its own unique procedures and regulations. The second, and often more significant, is the language barrier, which can create ambiguity and risk in high-stakes situations. Simply finding an English-speaking lawyer in Turkey is not enough; the real need is for a legal partner who is fluently bilingual in both the language and the culture of international business.

The ideal legal partner for an international client in Turkey possesses three key attributes. First, they are a multi-disciplinary law firm in Turkey, not just a single specialist, capable of handling interconnected issues in corporate, immigration, and real estate law. Second, they have a strategic physical presence in key cities like Istanbul and Ankara, demonstrating a nationwide capability to manage both commercial transactions and government relations. Finally, their entire team is built from the ground up to serve an international clientele, with proven experience and a deep understanding of global service standards.

At Pi Legal Consultancy, we have built our practice around these three pillars. We are that strategic, full-service international law firm in Turkey designed to bridge the gap for global clients. Our team of expert Turkish lawyers provides clear, effective, and commercially-focused advice entirely in English. To learn more about our team, our services, and our client-focused approach, we invite you to visit our comprehensive page for international clients.

Turkish Intellectual Property Lawyer

Your intellectual property—your brand, your innovations, and your creative works—is one of your most valuable business assets. Every business, from a local startup to a multinational corporation, owns valuable intellectual property (IP)—often without fully realizing it. Your company name, your logo, the software you've developed, even your unique product designs are all critical business assets that require legal protection.

In a dynamic market like Turkey, safeguarding these assets is essential for long-term growth and success. The Turkish legal framework, aligned with international standards, offers robust protection, but navigating it requires a clear strategy. 

International law firm in Istanbul may provide the greatest solution for you.  In today’s dynamic Turkish market, working with an experienced Turkey intellectual property lawyer ensures that your rights are properly registered, enforced, and strategically managed. The Turkish IP framework, aligned with international treaties such as the Paris Convention and TRIPS Agreement, provides strong protections—but only if you follow the right legal process.

Understanding Your Core IP Assets

In simple terms, IP is divided into a few key categories. A Trademark protects your brand identity. A Patent protects a new invention. A Copyright protects an original creative work. Each of these requires a different approach for registration and enforcement. An expert intellectual property lawyer in Turkey can help you identify and classify your assets correctly. One of our intellectual property lawyers, Attorney Canan Vergili Oruç, specializes in handling very complicated trademark cases. 

Beyond Registration: Building a Strategy by Turkey Intellectual Property Lawyer

The most common mistake is thinking that IP protection ends after a trademark is registered. The reality is that this is just the beginning. A true IP strategy involves managing your portfolio, monitoring the market for infringements, and using your IP as a tool for growth through licensing or franchising. This is the role of a strategic intellectual property law firm in Turkey.

Ankara is home to the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT) and the specialized IP Courts. Our team directly manages the official application, opposition, and litigation processes before these key government institutions. An international law firm in Ankara can support your own trademark’s protection and promotion. 

FAQs: Turkey Intellectual Property Lawyer

Q1: How long does it take to register a trademark in Turkey?

Typically 7–12 months, depending on objections and oppositions.

Q2: Can foreign companies register IP in Turkey?

Yes. Foreign companies can file directly with TÜRKPATENT through a local representative or via the Madrid Protocol.

Q3: What are the costs of hiring a Turkey intellectual property lawyer?

Costs vary depending on the scope—trademark filings are relatively affordable, while patent litigation can be more complex.

Q4: Can I license or franchise my IP in Turkey?

Absolutely. Licensing agreements are a common way to expand business and generate income, but they must be properly drafted and registered.

This summary covers the basics about Turkey IP lawyer roles. However, the full process involves detailed steps, document checklists, and answers to critical questions. We have published our most comprehensive guide on our website to answer all these questions and more.

A Comprehensive Overview of Turkish Citizenship by Real Estate Investment

For global investors seeking second citizenship, Turkey has become one of the most attractive destinations. The Turkish government offers a direct and streamlined process for acquiring citizenship through real estate. Known as the Turkish Citizenship by Real Estate Investment program, this initiative provides individuals and their families with access to Turkish nationality by purchasing eligible property, with no requirement to reside in the country.

What Is Turkish Citizenship by Real Estate Investment?

The real estate investment for Turkish citizenship route was introduced in 2017 and modified in 2018 to reduce the minimum investment threshold to $400,000 USD. Foreign nationals can apply for Turkish citizenship by purchasing residential or commercial property in Turkey, provided the property is held for at least three years and not resold within that period.

Applicants must also obtain a valuation report confirming that the property’s worth meets the required threshold. Once the property is registered with the Land Registry, investors receive a Certificate of Conformity from the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, which allows them to proceed with the citizenship application.

Legal and Strategic Foundation

The Turkish Constitution and Law №5901 on Turkish Citizenship outline the framework of the program. Citizenship can be acquired either by birth or post-birth through naturalization. For property-based acquisition, the law stipulates clear documentation and eligibility conditions, all of which are managed under the supervision of competent Turkish authorities.

Turkey’s legal system ensures that the Turkish citizenship by real estate process is not only secure but also legally binding under both domestic and international norms. The investment must be real, verified, and registered. Legal assistance from a qualified law firm is recommended to ensure full compliance.

Why Choose Real Estate Investment for Turkish Citizenship?

There are several reasons why this pathway is increasingly popular:

Speed and Simplicity: The application process typically takes 3 to 6 months.

No Residency Requirement: You don’t have to live in Turkey before, during, or after the application.

Family Inclusion: Spouses and children under 18 are also eligible.

Dual Citizenship: Turkey allows dual nationality without requiring applicants to renounce their existing citizenship.

High Return on Investment: Turkish property prices, especially in major cities like Istanbul and Antalya, offer strong ROI potential.

Visa-Free Travel: Turkish passport holders enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 110 countries.

Step-by-Step Application Process

Choose Eligible Property worth at least $400,000 USD.

Obtain Valuation Report from a certified appraiser.

Complete the Purchase and Register the Title under your name.

Apply for the Certificate of Conformity from the Ministry.

Apply for a Residence Permit, which is mandatory but not linked to actual residency.

Submit Citizenship Application to the Directorate of Population and Citizenship.

Await Approval, which typically takes a few months.

Common Questions

Can I get citizenship in Turkey by buying property? Yes, you can obtain Turkish citizenship by purchasing real estate worth at least $400,000 and keeping it for three years.

Is Turkish citizenship worth it? Absolutely. With visa-free travel benefits, inclusion of family members, access to a dynamic economy, and no residency requirement, many view this as a smart personal and financial decision.

Do I have to live in Turkey? No. Residency is not a condition for either the application process or citizenship retention.

Final Thoughts

Turkey offers a rare combination of geopolitical importance, economic potential, and cultural richness. Through the Turkish citizenship by real estate investment program, the government invites foreign investors to contribute to its economy while offering a valuable passport and second home in return.

If you’re seeking a secure, efficient, and rewarding way to obtain a second citizenship, the real estate investment for Turkish citizenship route is worth serious consideration. With professional guidance from a Turkish citizenship law firm, the entire process can be seamless and straightforward.
