Pekin Bayar Mizrahi has a separate dispute resolution department and is one of the very few top-tier firms which has such an immense focus on dispute resolution practice. We handle the most sophisticated disputes, usually incorporating a cross-border element.
We provide legal representation before all types of courts in Türkiye, at both the local and the appellate levels. Our litigation services cover a wide range of areas, including commercial disputes, contractual claims, shareholder and corporate conflicts, employment litigation, real estate and construction disputes, administrative and tax litigation, and white-collar criminal defense. In addition to court proceedings, we act in international and domestic arbitration proceedings, representing clients in both ad hoc and institutional arbitration. We have extensive experience in arbitrations conducted under the rules of ICC, ICSID, LCIA, ISTAC and ITOTAM. Our team also provides pre-dispute risk assessment, drafting of arbitration clauses, and enforcement of arbitral awards before Turkish courts. Some team members act in the secretariat of arbitral institutions such as EDAC. Some team members also act as an arbitrator in disputes pending before arbitral institutions such as ITOTAM.
Furthermore, we perform debt recovery actions before the enforcement/bankruptcy offices and provide specialized services in financial restructurings, insolvency proceedings and bankruptcy filings.
We also assist clients in out-of-court settlements, negotiations and mediation processes. We believe that effective dispute resolution often requires strategic thinking beyond litigation, and we are committed to identifying the most cost-efficient and outcome-driven approaches for our clients.
