GSI works with real estate development companies of all sizes and with financial institutions, as well as public authorities and agencies as lenders. We advise all kinds of parties working in the Turkish market, especially investors and operators in the property sector, builders, developers, property agents and regional authorities.

We also assist with all kinds of administrative procedures regarding real estate before the relevant public authorities in Turkey. We assist our clients in the transfer and management of properties and handle all stages of planning permission and other transactions involving public authorities. We also negotiate with public authorities regarding development policies.

We advise clients not only during contract negotiations but also in dispute resolution processes ranging from general litigation to rectification of title-deed registries. GSI Meridian’s approach is to reach a mutual solution wherever possible and appropriate, using alternative dispute resolution procedures. However, if the litigation process cannot be avoided in a specific case, we are well prepared represent our clients’ cases in court.
