Practice areas

Bankruptcy & Debt

In commercial life, receivables are subject to exchange notes (check notes, policies) or invoices from selling products and services. Due to the nature of relationships between individuals or legal entities, debts may sometimes not be collected in commercial life. The collection of these receivables may be the subject of litigation or enforcement proceedings. The collection of these receivables, subject to legal remedies, may be extended due to reasons arising from the debtor or aggravating the follow-up process. For this reason, the receivables subject to follow-up must be evaluated within the scope of the debt collection consultancy.

Intellectual Property

The protection of intellectual property depends on the nature of the intellectual property. The source of knowledge is sometimes a work of science, art, or literature, an invention, or a creative idea embodied in an invention. These embodied ideas determine the dynamic of society. In the 21st century, the information age, one of the most important concepts is intellectual property rights. Intellectual property rights are rights over things created due to original ideas. Intellectual property, defined as; inventions, creative expressions, and ideas that the public is willing to determine the property status, provides certain rights to the property’s creator in terms of commercial benefits. If creativity has economic value, it also needs to be learned how to protect intellectual property against any party that might try to use it for themselves because determining the best way to protect intellectual property can sometimes be complex. MGC Legal offers brand protection services in Turkey and the globe.
