Moroglu Arseven

Celebrating its 25th year, Moroğlu Arseven is an independent, full-service Turkish law firm advising sophisticated business clients across a full spectrum of legal matters. We provide integrated legal counselling and representation on complex, multi-disciplinary mandates, supported by a proactive and anticipatory approach that enables us to identify risks and opportunities at an early stage and deliver commercially focused solutions.

The firm’s practice is structured around four core pillars in which it has developed market-leading expertise in Türkiye: business and finance, compliance, dispute resolution, and intellectual property. These practices are supported by strong academic foundations and a consistently practical, results-driven advisory style.

Our lawyers regularly advise publicly listed multinational companies and large, closely held domestic groups. Clients benefit from the firm’s depth of sub-specialisation within each pillar practice and from our collaborative, cross-practice team approach. For matters involving heightened or novel complexity, we assemble tailored teams drawing on specialist practitioners and academic insight to deliver highly sophisticated advice.

Moroğlu Arseven serves a diverse client base across a broad range of industries. Our sector-focused experience enables seamless coordination across practice areas, ensuring comprehensive legal support in Türkiye. Key sectors include industrials and manufacturing, retail and consumer, TMT, energy, healthcare and life sciences, pharmaceuticals, entertainment and sports, real estate and construction, banking, insurance and financial services.

Our lawyers contribute regularly to leading local and international legal publications on both practical and academic issues. The firm also produces in-house commentary on legislative and regulatory developments, significant court decisions and annual practice-area law reviews, reflecting its ongoing commitment to thought leadership.
