Contract Management

Professional management of the entire contract lifecycle in long-term commercial relationships — from drafting and negotiation to performance, amendment and termination.

Overview

We manage the contract portfolio that sits at the heart of commercial activity, integrating risk assessment, standard template design and negotiation support into day-to-day operations.

Across supply, distribution, franchise, dealership, service and licensing agreements we structure KPIs, confidentiality, non-compete, liquidated damages and dispute resolution clauses in line with the client's commercial goals.

What We Do

  • Drafting, review and negotiation of commercial contracts
  • Design of standard contract templates and negotiation playbooks
  • Contract lifecycle and risk monitoring
  • Amendments, renewals and termination processes
  • Pre-dispute notices, settlement and negotiation management
  • Governing law and arbitration clauses in cross-border contracts
Our Approach

We treat contracts as dynamic risk instruments rather than static documents, providing continuous advisory with the same team from negotiation through performance monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between contract management and contract law?
Contract law sets the regulatory framework, whereas contract management is the active administration and optimisation of existing contracts throughout their commercial lifecycle.
Are liquidated damages clauses enforceable in every contract?
Liquidated damages are valid under the Turkish Code of Obligations, but a court may reduce clauses deemed excessive.
Which governing law should be chosen in cross-border contracts?
Parties may freely choose the governing law; absent a choice, the law most closely connected to the contract applies. The arbitration seat and language should also be set together with the governing law.
