Legal Support for Supplier and Equipment Sourcing in Turkey and China

Supplier sourcing is not merely a commercial task. For EU companies, it is a legal risk management process involving:

• sanctions exposure
• export control restrictions
• payment and banking risks
• contract enforceability
• liability for non-performance

Our legal team supports clients in the structured identification and legal assessment of suppliers, manufacturers and equipment producers in Turkey and China, based on the client’s technical and commercial criteria.

A critical element of cross-border sourcing is supplier due diligence. Even reputable manufacturers may pose hidden legal or regulatory risks.
We conduct:

• corporate and legal status verification
• sanctions and restricted party screening
• export authorization and compliance checks
• assessment of reputational and enforcement risks
• review of ownership and control structures

This approach significantly reduces the risk of blocked payments, failed deliveries or regulatory violations.

EU companies sourcing from Turkey or China must ensure compliance with:

• EU sanctions regimes
• export control regulations
• dual-use and restricted goods rules
• indirect exposure to sanctioned jurisdictions

We provide:

• transaction-level sanctions risk assessment
• supply chain compliance analysis
• legal structuring to mitigate secondary sanctions risks
• advisory on lawful trade routes and contractual safeguards

Compliance is integrated at every stage of the sourcing process.

Well-drafted contracts are essential for protecting EU buyers in cross-border transactions.
We assist with:

• drafting and review of international supply agreements
• Incoterms® structuring and delivery risk allocation
• payment terms, guarantees and liability clauses
• quality, warranty and inspection provisions
• dispute resolution, jurisdiction and arbitration clauses

Our focus is on enforceability and practical risk allocation, not template contracts.

Legal risks continue after contract execution. We provide ongoing legal oversight during:

• production and delivery milestones
• logistics and transportation arrangements
• documentation and customs compliance
• performance deviations and delay management

Where necessary, we assist with claims, negotiations and dispute resolution involving suppliers or logistics providers.
