Lifting the Corporate Veil | Lawyer in Izmir<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the fast-paced and dynamic world of commerce, it has become necessary to introduce regulations to prevent debtors from abusing the liability structure of commercial companies based on their capital. The lifting of the corporate veil was specifically designed to prevent such malicious practices. In this context, in cases where the liability of the debtor company owner is at issue, the fact that the company's legal entity is a separate person will be disregarded, and an exception will be made to the limited liability of the partner for the specific case, allowing the company to be held fully liable for the debt, or conversely, allowing the legal entity to be held liable for the partner's debt.         <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, the application area is determined by observing certain special regulations within Article 2 of the Turkish Civil Code and the Turkish Commercial Code. The scope of application for lifting the corporate veil, which is an exceptional regulation, is increasing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
