International Arbitration In Turkey: Legal Framework, Procedure And Enforcement

International arbitration is widely used by foreign investors and international companies doing business in Turkey as an alternative to court litigation. In cross-border commercial relationships, parties often seek a dispute resolution mechanism that offers neutrality, confidentiality, procedural flexibility, and enforceability across jurisdictions. Turkey's position as a regional trade and investment hub has made arbitration in Turkey particularly relevant for international commercial disputes, especially in sectors such as construction, energy, distribution, and corporate joint ventures. As a result, international arbitration in Turkey has evolved into a practical and frequently preferred mechanism for resolving high-value and complex disputes involving foreign elements.
