Aquila Law & Consultancy is a private legal and strategic advisory group. We act for investors, contractors and operators across energy, defence, aerospace and maritime. We connect capital with opportunity along the corridors that link Turkey to Europe, China and Russia.
The practice
We protect what our clients build. Every mandate is handled completely, swiftly and in absolute confidence — the legal and administrative course of a project carried from the first instruction to the final result. The matter, once entrusted, is ours to carry; the result is yours to keep.
We take a limited number of mandates at a time. One point of responsibility, from structuring to enforcement.

Strategic advisory
Capital seeks opportunity; opportunity seeks judgment. We stand between the two with due diligence first and introductions second — every project screened for law, counterparty and risk before anyone sits at a table. Contact us.
For project owners
Wind, solar and infrastructure assets at development or operating stage; defence and aerospace suppliers seeking partners; maritime and port operations.
For investors
Opportunities examined before they are presented: the legal, regulatory and counterparty picture established through due diligence, so that the first meeting is a decision, not a discovery.
One shield, four edges
Four units, one discipline. Betz Wind for onshore and offshore wind; Sentries for defence contracting and unmanned systems; Bernoulli for aviation operations and aerospace; Archimedes for maritime and shipping. Each carries its own name, its own counsel and its own door — all under one shield.
Sentries Defence
Defence-industry contracting: procurement, subcontracting, offset obligations and export-control compliance for Turkish and foreign parties entering the Turkish defence supply chain.
Bernoulli Aviation & Aerospace
Aviation, airport and air-logistics matters, from operating agreements and ground-handling contracts to regulatory compliance and disputes.
Archimedes Maritime
Shipping, ports and naval logistics: charter parties, shipbuilding and repair contracts, cargo claims and port operations.
