Expanding to the United States? A Turkish-speaking business lawyer helps Turkish founders and companies set up and grow in the U.S. — from entity formation to visa-aligned structuring, contracts, and brand protection.
We understand the realities of building a U.S. presence from Turkey. We structure your company from day one to align with your immigration and growth goals — avoiding costly missteps that can complicate a future visa petition.
From our Washington, D.C.-area office, we serve clients across the U.S. and abroad. Our attorneys are licensed in Maryland, New York and the District of Columbia, and we work with you in Turkish or English.
Most of our business clients operate in two countries at once: a company or family in Türkiye, and a venture taking shape in the United States. Our practice is built around that reality. As a Turkish-speaking business lawyer team, we run formation, contracts, and trademark work entirely remotely — video calls scheduled around the time difference, documents exchanged through a secure portal, signatures collected electronically.
Working in both languages removes the most expensive risk in cross-border deals: misunderstanding. Term sheets, operating agreements, and vendor contracts are explained clause by clause in Turkish before you sign them in English. Where Turkish documents feed a U.S. filing — trade registry records, tax certificates, powers of attorney — we tell you exactly which certifications and translations U.S. authorities expect.
For matters governed by a specific state’s law outside our licensed jurisdictions, we coordinate vetted local counsel and remain your single point of contact, so your U.S. legal work stays coherent from formation to your first customer contract.

No. Turkish entrepreneurs based abroad can form a U.S. company. Banking and tax steps may require extra planning, which we handle with you.
Not by itself. However, a properly structured company is the foundation for investor and transfer visas such as E-2 and L-1.
LLCs offer flexibility for many founders; C-Corps are preferred for raising venture capital and issuing equity. We recommend the right fit based on your plans.
