The problem we solve
Dealing with the law in a foreign country is hard for obvious reasons: the system is unfamiliar, the language is a barrier, you may be thousands of kilometres away, and it is difficult to know who to trust. A small mistake — a contract clause that means something different under Turkish law, a missed deadline, an unpaid invoice left too long, a seller who is not what they seem — can be expensive.
Lexin Legal exists to take that weight off you. We translate the Turkish legal system into plain English, give you a fixed price up front, and handle the matter ourselves so you don't have to navigate it alone.
Who we help
- Foreign companies and investors trading with or operating in Türkiye — contracts, company set-up, deals, and recovering money they are owed.
- Entrepreneurs forming a company, buying commercial property or seeking Turkish citizenship through investment.
- Expats and residents dealing with permits, family matters, or a dispute.
- Property buyers who need their purchase checked and protected.
- Families facing divorce, custody or the recognition of a foreign judgment.
- People in trouble — a criminal allegation, a deportation order or an entry ban that has to be challenged quickly.
One clarification — Lexin Legal is a law firm. We give legal advice and represent you; we are not an employment or recruitment agency and do not find jobs or place workers.

Our largest area of work is helping foreign businesses operate safely in the Turkish market. Whether you are signing your first contract with a Turkish supplier or unwinding a dispute that has already gone wrong, we make sure Turkish law works for you rather than against you:
- Drafting and reviewing commercial contracts — supply, distribution, agency and services — so they hold up here.
- Structuring deals, joint ventures and acquisitions through our corporate & M&A team.
- Setting up and running a Turkish company, branch or liaison office.
- Recovering unpaid invoices and enforcing judgments through debt collection & enforcement.
Common situations we handle
Most of our clients come to us with one of a handful of needs. For each, there is a dedicated team and a clear, fixed-fee path:
- A commercial contract or dispute with a Turkish counterparty, or an unpaid debt to recover.
- Buying property safely and, where wanted, using it for Turkish citizenship or a secure title transfer.
- Getting or renewing a residence permit, or challenging a refusal.
- Setting up and running a Turkish company.
- A cross-border divorce or recognising a foreign decree.
- A compensation claim after treatment that went wrong.
- Urgent help with a deportation or entry ban or a criminal matter.

Working with a lawyer abroad should feel as simple as working with one at home.
- English throughout — every conversation, document and update.

- Updates in your language, at every meaningful step.
Five languages — English, Turkish, French, Russian and Chinese — so you are understood, and so you understand.
