For startups
From idea to first funding round, from first users to going abroad, we build your startup's legal foundations together with the product. Code, design and contracts are discussed at the same table.
We handle the legal side with a team that knows how the product works, on the same plan as the product.
Turkish copyright law (FSEK) requires economic rights to be assigned in writing, with each right listed separately. If code written by founders before incorporation, or by outside developers, is not assigned in writing, it becomes one of the first questions in investor due diligence.
In a Turkish limited company, a share transfer needs a notarised written agreement and shareholder approval. A joint-stock company is more flexible for share transfers, preferred shares and bringing in new shareholders. That is why startups planning to raise funding often choose a joint-stock company or convert to one later.
Privacy notices, explicit consent, cookie choices and account deletion are not only legal texts but screen design. Building them into the product from the start saves time in app-store review and avoids rework later.
We clarify your goal, timeline and critical risks together, in English or Turkish.
We write the legal, technical, design and operational steps into a single plan, each with an owner and a date.
Formation, contracts, product and brand work run in parallel. Work that requires a lawyer is done with independent legal professionals on BEG Hukuk.
We stay with you after launch: compliance updates, new markets, product development.
These answers are general information and are not legal advice for your specific situation.
Both are possible; the choice depends on the number of founders, the funding plan and cost. A limited company (Ltd. Şti.) is simpler to set up and run, but share transfers need notarisation and shareholder approval. A joint-stock company (A.Ş.) is more flexible for investors, preferred shares and share transfers. If you plan to raise funding soon, we weigh this together at formation.
The equity split, founders' roles, how key decisions are made, what happens to a leaving founder's shares, bringing in new shareholders, non-compete and confidentiality. It should be consistent with the company's articles of association; otherwise some terms are hard to enforce against the company.
As a rule, the employer exercises the economic rights in works employees create in the course of their job. Code written by founders before incorporation, and work by freelancers and outside agencies, needs a written assignment. The brand should be filed with TÜRKPATENT in the company's name; without registration, the protection of a registered trademark does not arise.
Because in a startup most legal decisions touch the product: which data you collect, on which screen consent is asked, how payments are taken. When law, software and design sit in one team, the decision is made once and applied directly in the product.
BEG Corporate plans and coordinates the process. Work that requires a lawyer, such as legal opinions, contracts and official filings, is carried out by approved independent legal professionals through BEG Hukuk. The roadmap states from the start who does what.
