About Us
ACA Legal Partnership is a law, trade and insurance consultancy for companies doing business between Türkiye, Iran and Ethiopia. Three countries, one team, one file.
Three countries, one team
Trade between Türkiye, Iran and Ethiopia passes through three legal systems, three languages and three sets of customs rules. When each stage is handled by a different adviser, the gaps between them become the real risk. ACA Legal Partnership exists so that one team carries the same file from the first draft of the contract to the enforcement of the final decision.
What we do
We advise importers, exporters, logistics companies and insurers on international trade contracts, customs, cargo insurance, arbitration and the other legal disputes that arise along the way. For trade involving Iran, sanctions and export-control compliance is part of the service from the start.
How we work
Every matter begins with a careful reading of the documents and the deadlines. We then set out the legal position and the risks in writing, agree the strategy with you and keep you informed at each stage, including what the next step is likely to cost.
