Frequently Asked Questions
- Is an arbitration clause valid in Türkiye?
- The Turkish International Arbitration Act and the arbitration provisions of the CCP recognise valid arbitration clauses; written form and arbitrability of the subject matter are the key gates.
- Are foreign awards enforceable in Türkiye?
- Türkiye is a party to the 1958 New York Convention; refusal grounds are limited and public policy review is the most consequential gate.
- How long does arbitration typically take?
- Institutional arbitration typically concludes within 12–24 months; expedited procedures deliver faster awards.
