Second Book: Kıymetli Maden ve Kıymetli Taş Ticaretinden Kaynaklanan Uyuşmazlıkların Tahkim Yoluyla Çözümü

From thesis to book

Our founder's master's thesis, on which he had worked since 2023 and which was accepted on 28 April 2026, has been expanded to cover the precious stone trade as well, in line with the commitment made to the jury, and turned into a book. The work has been published by Vedat Kitapçılık under the title Kıymetli Maden ve Kıymetli Taş Ticaretinden Kaynaklanan Uyuşmazlıkların Tahkim Yoluyla Çözümü [Resolution through Arbitration of Disputes Arising from Trade in Precious Metals and Precious Stones].

Two books, one foundation

In Türkiye, the main principles of trade in precious metals and precious stones are governed by foreign exchange legislation (kambiyo mevzuatı). Our founder's first work, Kambiyo Mevzuatı Rehberi [Guide to Foreign Exchange Legislation], addressed this foundation; published in April 2026, the guide has been in the hands of sector stakeholders for more than five months. The second book builds on the same foundation and examines how disputes arising from this trade can be resolved through arbitration.

An international perspective

Trade in precious metals and precious stones is cross-border by nature: the links of the chain, from mine to refinery and from workshop to end user, are often in different countries. The book addresses the sector not only from the perspective of Türkiye but together with the constituent elements of international trade. Work is under way on the book's publication in English and Russian.

What it added to our work

This work made it possible to assess the sector within a broader framework and laid the foundation for later work in this field. Drawing on this experience, we work more closely with international sector stakeholders, and we provide our clients with legal support in disputes arising from cross-border trade in precious metals and precious stones, from drafting the arbitration clause to the arbitral proceedings. We hope the work will be of benefit to our country and our sector.
