Legal Support for Supplier and Equipment Sourcing in Turkey and China
Introduction
European companies are increasingly sourcing industrial equipment, goods and manufacturing partners from Turkey and China as part of supply-chain diversification, near-shoring and cost-optimization strategies.
While these markets offer significant commercial opportunities, sourcing activities also involve substantial legal, regulatory and compliance risks.
Supplier selection, contract structuring and cross-border delivery require more than commercial negotiation. They demand professional legal oversight, particularly in the context of EU sanctions, export controls, payment restrictions and contract enforceability.
Russian-Turkish Law & Consulting Firm provides comprehensive legal support for sourcing suppliers, manufacturers and equipment in Turkey and China, assisting European companies in building legally secure and compliant supply chains.
Supplier and Manufacturer Sourcing as a Legal Process
For EU businesses, sourcing suppliers abroad is fundamentally a legal risk-management exercise.
Incorrect supplier selection or inadequate legal structuring can result in:
• blocked payments or frozen bank transfers
• inability to enforce contracts
• sanctions or export-control violations
• delivery delays or non-performance
• loss of legal remedies
Legal involvement at the sourcing stage ensures that supplier identification aligns with EU regulatory requirements and long-term operational objectives.
Our role is to support clients in the legally structured identification and assessment of suppliers and manufacturers, based on technical specifications and commercial priorities defined by the client.
Legal Support in Identifying Suppliers and Equipment Producers
We assist European clients in the legal and compliance-driven identification of suppliers and manufacturers in Turkey and China.
This includes:
• legal support during supplier outreach and initial negotiations
• verification of corporate existence and business activities
• assessment of export eligibility and regulatory constraints
• identification of early-stage legal and compliance risks
Our approach ensures that only legally viable counterparties proceed to the contract negotiation stage.
Supplier Due Diligence and Compliance Verification
Supplier due diligence is a critical component of compliant sourcing.
Even established manufacturers may present hidden legal risks related to ownership, sanctions exposure or export restrictions.
We conduct:
• corporate and ownership verification
• sanctions and restricted-party screening
• export authorization and compliance checks
• reputational and enforcement-risk assessments
This process significantly reduces the likelihood of transaction failure, regulatory breaches or post-contract disputes.
Sanctions and Export Control Advisory
EU companies sourcing from Turkey and China must comply with:
• EU sanctions regimes
• export control and dual-use regulations
• sector-specific restrictions
• indirect exposure to sanctioned jurisdictions
We provide:
• transaction-specific sanctions risk assessments
• supply-chain compliance analysis
• legal structuring to mitigate secondary-sanctions exposure
Compliance considerations are integrated throughout the sourcing and contracting process.
International Supply Contracts and Risk Allocation
Well-structured contracts are essential for protecting European buyers in cross-border sourcing transactions.
Our legal support includes:
• drafting and reviewing international supply agreements
• structuring Incoterms® and delivery obligations
• defining payment mechanisms and liability provisions
• quality standards, warranties and inspection rights
• dispute resolution, governing law and arbitration clauses
We focus on practical enforceability, not generic contract templates.
Legal Oversight During Delivery and Performance
Legal risks do not end with contract execution.
We provide ongoing legal support during:
• production and delivery milestones
• logistics and transportation arrangements
• customs and documentation compliance
• management of delays, defects or non-performance
Where disputes arise, we assist with claims management, negotiations and dispute resolution.
