Arbitration In Türkiye – 2025 Year In Review

1. Introduction

1. 2025 was not a year of grand surprises in Türkiye-related arbitration. No treaty earthquake, no sudden doctrinal revolution, no dramatic shift in legislative architecture. But it was a year in which the law quietly did what it often does at its most consequential moments: it refined. Long-running disputes reached procedural and judicial inflection points; familiar concepts—jurisdiction, admissibility, consent, public policy—were tested again, but this time with slightly sharper edges. The result is a picture of Türkiye-related arbitration that feels increasingly mature: less defined by novelty, more defined by consolidation, calibration, and occasional retrenchment.
