The law as it is — put to work for you.
Lex Lata is a boutique, full-service international law firm in Istanbul. We advise foreign investors, companies and private clients on Turkish law — clearly, in English and Turkish, with a partner on every matter.
Lex lata is Latin for “the law as it is” — as opposed to lex ferenda, the law as it ought to be. The name is our promise. We give grounded advice about the rules that actually apply, not the ones we wish existed. No theatrics, no false comfort — just a clear reading of where you stand and a sound path forward.
Focused practice
Corporate and commercial law is at the centre of our practice, alongside intellectual property, finance and immigration work.
Built for cross-border clients
We explain Turkish law the way international clients need it — precisely, in fluent English, without losing the nuance.
Partner-led & responsive
You get direct access to senior lawyers, a clear scope and a clear fee — and answers when you need them.
Let's work together.
