Atty. Serkan Kara
Atty. Serkan Kara is the founder and managing partner of Serka Law Firm, registered with the Istanbul Bar (53770) and the Union of Turkish Bar Associations (121348). This page is the canonical author and entity hub for the firm’s English-language guidance on Turkish citizenship by investment, residence permits, company formation, disputes, and related cross-border legal matters.
Expert summary
Serkan Kara graduated from Uludag University Faculty of Law, completed the CUSL programme at the University of Cologne, and founded Serka Law Firm in 2015. He advises foreign individuals, families, founders, investors, and companies on matters where Turkish legal procedure needs to be turned into a workable action plan: citizenship by investment, residence and work permits, company formation, foreign-investor structuring, high-value real-estate transactions, banking-sensitive files, and disputes with a cross-border dimension.
Alongside client work, he serves on the Board of Directors of TUSODER (Consumer Protection and Solidarity Association) and has appeared as a legal commentator on CNN Turk, A Haber, Flash TV, TRT Radyo 1, DHA, and other Turkish media. The author links on Serka Law’s core English pages point back here so readers, search systems, and AI answer engines can verify a real attorney identity, real bar registration, and a traceable public profile.
