California · New York · Turkey
A dispute involving Turkey can affect a California business, a New York investor, or a family living in the United States. U2U Law helps clients evaluate litigation in Turkey and disputes connecting the United States and Turkey (Türkiye), coordinating the appropriate attorneys and local counsel for the work involved.
One cross-border strategy, coordinated across jurisdictions
We start with your objective, the parties, the relevant countries, and any pending proceedings or deadlines. That review helps define which attorneys are needed, where the work belongs, and how communications and documents should move between the U.S. and Turkish sides of the matter.
Disputes we evaluate
Commercial and contract disputes
Unpaid contractual obligations, disputed performance, distribution relationships, licensing agreements, and other business disagreements involving Turkish and U.S. parties.
Ownership and investment disputes
Disagreements involving partners, shareholders, business control, investment terms, acquisitions, or the breakdown of a continuing commercial relationship.
Proceedings with a U.S. connection
Matters involving a California or New York party, related proceedings, witnesses, records, or assets in more than one country.
Judgment and enforcement questions
Evaluation of the next steps for an existing judgment or award, the relevant jurisdictions, and the attorneys needed for recognition or enforcement work.
How the initial review works
- Understand the dispute. Give us a concise timeline, the names of all parties, where any case is pending, your objective, and the dates of any hearings or response deadlines.
- Identify the relevant record. Tell us what contracts, correspondence, payment records, court papers, or judgments exist. Our team will confirm an appropriate method before receiving confidential documents.
- Coordinate the legal team. We identify the work involving California, New York, or Turkish law and the appropriately licensed attorneys needed for each part of the representation.
- Define scope and communication. Before work begins, the engagement should identify responsibilities, fees, document handling, client communications, and any coordination with local counsel.
For clients managing a Turkey dispute from the United States
The practical challenge is often keeping the legal work and the business objective aligned across languages and time zones. A client may need to understand what a Turkish filing concerns, how it relates to a U.S. dispute, which documents counsel needs, and who is responsible for the next step. Our cross-border approach connects those questions so the client has a clear point of coordination.

Frequently asked questions
Can U2U Law help with litigation in Turkey while I live in California or New York?
