Cross-Border Legal Solutions

Legal matters rarely stop at one border. We work with independent law firms, local attorneys and subject-matter professionals in other jurisdictions, and coordinate the steps between them.

Our Team & Network

Local knowledge, international coordination
Our professional relationships include collaborating firms in Turkiye, Canada, Greece and other jurisdictions, with further jurisdiction-specific assistance coordinated where appropriate.
One matter, several legal systems
An immigration case can involve an investment and a company. A dispute can need proceedings in two countries. An inheritance can involve property abroad. We look at the whole matter.
Turkiye
Through appropriately qualified legal professionals, we coordinate matters of Turkish civil, commercial, corporate, criminal, family and inheritance law, legal opinions, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.
Clear roles
Depending on the matter, legal services are provided by Merit Law LLP within its scope of practice, by independent local counsel, or by a combination of both.

Why Merit

Many languages
We work in English, Turkish, Chinese, Russian and more, so you can explain your situation in the language you know best.
Connected practice areas
Immigration, business and international law are handled together when one matter touches all three.
