Emmy Di Gioia

Emmy Di Gioia is an Italian-Turkish lawyer registered with the Palermo Bar Association and Head of the Italian Desk in Istanbul, where she assists Italian companies, multinational corporations, SMEs, and international investors in developing their business in Turkey and managing cross-border operations between Italy and Turkey.

After gaining solid experience in leading law firms in Palermo, she permanently relocated to Istanbul in 2012, becoming a trusted point of reference for legal services in Turkey for Italian companies and for all foreign clients seeking an international, bilingual Turkish law advisor. Her practice is focused on corporate and commercial law in Turkey, international business law, foreign direct investments (FDI in Turkey), company formation in Turkey for foreigners, international contract law, law of obligations, Turkish labor law for foreign companies, and international commercial litigation.

She provides comprehensive legal assistance in setting up companies in Turkey, drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, investment transactions, joint ventures, legal due diligence, and regulatory compliance for foreign businesses operating in Turkey.

Emmy represents clients before Italian and Turkish courts in cross-border commercial disputes, delivering strategic solutions for legal risk management, asset protection, and enforcement of international business interests between the two jurisdictions. She is also highly active in medical malpractice cases in Turkey involving foreign patients, a rapidly growing sector linked to medical tourism in Turkey, offering full legal support in medical negligence claims, compensation for international patients, and cross-border healthcare litigation.

Thanks to her dual legal and cultural background, she supports companies throughout the entire internationalization process, from market entry in Turkey and corporate structuring to the resolution of complex commercial disputes.

A native Italian and Turkish speaker, fluent in English, Emmy Di Gioia is the ideal partner for foreign investors looking to invest in Turkey, Turkish companies with business interests in Italy, and international clients searching for an Italian lawyer in Istanbul able to provide integrated, business-oriented, and cross-border legal assistance in Turkey.
