Süendam T. Özyurt
I am a Dutch/Turkish attorney specialized in Turkish law, and I have been living in Amersfoort since 1994, partly residing in Turkey as well. I am registered with the Izmir Bar Association and specialize in providing legal and business services to foreign investors and entrepreneurs in Turkey.
As a specialized attorney in corporate and commercial law, together with my specialized colleagues, I provide business and legal assistance to companies involved in various commercial activities such as company formation, production, export and/or import, real estate investment, and participation in tender procedures.
