Agriculture, food and retail is an area shaped by extensive supply chains, intensive regulation and rapidly evolving technology. Our team delivers commercially workable legal solutions to producer, supplier and retailer clients at every stage of the value chain, from production through to the end consumer. Our contribution to the establishment and structuring of the Turkish Mercantile Exchange (“TÜRİB”), Türkiye’s first and only national electronic commodity exchange, is a case in point.
Our agriculture and food services span a wide range of legal matters, including structuring our clients’ contract farming requirements, preparing production and supply agreements, granting easements, negotiating and administering production contracts, and creating security structures. We also provide legal support on the use of real estate for food production and supply, and on leases and usufructuary leases (hasılat kirası).
Günay & Erdoğan also advises and represents a range of domestic and international retail businesses. Our retail services include distribution agreements, distributorship, brokerage and agency arrangements, franchising, sales and supply agreements, and share procurement, sale and transfer transactions.
