ABOUT THE FIRM

Founded in 1998, Tenha Law Firm is a full-service law firm based in Istanbul, advising both individuals and corporations in Turkey and abroad. Our lawyers bring deep experience across diverse industries, handling everything from complex litigation to high-value transactions with efficiency and care.

We are particularly recognized for our expertise in Citizenship and Residency by Investment, guiding international clients through the legal steps of securing Turkish citizenship and residence permits. Beyond immigration and investment matters, we have strong capabilities in corporate and commercial law, M&A, property and construction, banking and finance, debt recovery, family and inheritance law, bankruptcy, and dispute resolution.

OUR LEGAL EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE IS THE BACKBONE OF OUR FIRM

At Tenha Law Firm, we combine decades of experience with a results-oriented approach to serve both individuals and corporations in Turkey and abroad. We are recognized for the depth of our expertise and our ability to align legal strategies with our clients’ business and personal objectives.

A key strength of our firm is our work in Citizenship and Residency by Investment, where we guide international clients through every stage of securing Turkish citizenship and residence permits. This practice has become one of the most sought-after services we provide, reflecting our deep understanding of investment-based immigration law.

Beyond this, our team offers trusted counsel in corporate and commercial law, M&A, property and construction, family and inheritance law, banking and finance, debt recovery, bankruptcy, and complex litigation. Whatever the challenge, we are committed to delivering clear, practical, and effective solutions.

WE ARE NOT A “ONE SIZE FITS ALL” LAW FIRM

At Tenha Law Firm, we understand that every client’s situation is unique. Instead of applying a standard approach, we develop tailored legal strategies designed to achieve the best possible outcome for each case.

As a boutique law firm, we intentionally limit the number of matters we handle at one time. This allows us to provide responsive service, build close working relationships, and maintain the high level of attention our clients expect.

Whether guiding international investors through Citizenship and Residency by Investment, representing families in sensitive disputes, or advising corporations on complex transactions, our priority is always the same: delivering solutions that fit our clients’ specific needs.

Trusted Worldwide. Proven Results.
