Commercial Law and Commercial Litigation

Commercial Law constitutes the legal framework of the economic cycle extending from the production of goods and services to their consumption, ensuring the security and sustainability of commercial life. In today’s business environment—characterized by high transaction volumes and intense competition—relationships between merchants must be managed professionally in accordance with the principle of the Prudent Merchant.

Zengin & Aydın Law Firm provides businesses operating in İzmir—the commercial heart of the region—with a protective legal framework against the risks they may encounter in the ordinary course of commercial activity. For clients seeking a commercial law attorney in İzmir, we offer specialized legal support across a broad spectrum, ranging from the transfer of commercial enterprises to commercial receivables litigation, from unfair competition to negotiable instruments law.

Our Services within the Scope of Commercial Law

Our office acts on the principle of achieving swift and cost-effective outcomes in the resolution of commercial disputes and provides litigation and consultancy services in the following areas:

1. Commercial Contracts and Transaction Security

Contracts constitute the constitution of commercial relationships. A well-drafted contract prevents disputes that may otherwise persist for years.

Drafting and Review of Contracts: Preparation of sale, barter, current account, dealership, agency, distributorship, and factoring agreements.
Contract Management: Risk analysis of contracts executed with suppliers and customers, and structuring of penalty clauses and security provisions.
International Commercial Contracts: Ensuring compliance of import and export contracts with international regulations and standards (CISG, Incoterms).

2. Commercial Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Disputes arising from commercial transactions require technical expertise and strategic case management. Handling such matters with an experienced commercial litigation attorney prevents loss of rights.

Commercial Receivables Actions: Actions for annulment of objection and debt recovery lawsuits filed for the collection of unpaid receivables arising from invoices, current accounts, or contracts.
Breach of Contract: Actions for performance and compensation in cases of defective goods, late delivery, or non-delivery.
Commercial Sale and Lease Disputes: Disputes arising from the sale of commercial goods and the leasing of commercial real estate, including eviction and contract adaptation claims.

3. Prevention of Unfair Competition

We provide legal protection against acts that violate the principles of commercial honesty and harm our clients’ market share and commercial reputation.

Unfair Competition Actions: Actions for determination, cessation, and compensation against misleading advertising, disclosure of trade secrets, or unlawful appropriation of customer portfolios by competitors.
Protection of Commercial Reputation: Initiation of legal proceedings against false or defamatory news and statements targeting companies or brands.

4. Negotiable Instruments Law (Checks, Promissory Notes, Bills of Exchange)

The issuance and collection processes of negotiable instruments—fundamental tools of commercial payment—are handled with particular diligence.

Negotiable Instruments: Review of formal requirements of checks and promissory notes, and verification of endorsement chains.
Loss and Cancellation Actions: Obtaining stop-payment orders and court decisions for the cancellation of lost or stolen checks or promissory notes.

As Zengin & Aydın Law Firm, we adopt a dynamic and solution-oriented approach that keeps pace with the speed of commercial life. By resolving legal issues securely “behind the scenes” without disrupting our clients’ commercial operations, we enable them to focus on their core business activities.
