Lexist is an independent full-service Turkish law firm providing investment and commercial arbitration legal services in Türkiye and internationally. The team advises private and public entities and private individuals, Turkish and foreign.

The much-celebrated Lexist Arbitration team is actively involved in investor-state and commercial arbitration proceedings, both institutional and ad hoc, including the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), Istanbul Arbitration Center (ISTAC) and the Turkish Energy Disputes Arbitration Center (EDAC).

The team also acts as counsel, representing clients globally wherever the seat of arbitration is – Istanbul, London, Geneva or Washington, for instance. The team has represented the Republic of Türkiye in several ICSID proceedings and in domestic arbitration proceedings conducted under the International Arbitration Law and under the Civil Procedure Code. Please see our News.

We fully understand there must be a return on investment following a case. For assets located abroad, the team may work with colleagues and professionals who are adept at collection and monetising strategies, recovering awards wherever the assets may be.

Should the need arise, Lexist can provide support with compliance and pursuing licenses, permissions, permits, and applications from the relevant Turkish authorities on behalf of our clients.
