Our Services

Compliance

Competition law compliance is not simply a response to a problem; it is an ongoing risk-management approach spanning contracts, employee awareness and preparedness for regulatory reviews.

Merger Control

We provide legal support for merger control notifications in Türkiye, from assessing filing obligations to preparing the notification and following the review through to the Competition Board’s decision.

Defence

In Turkish competition law reviews, every step from the first contact with the Authority to the final decision can shape the defense strategy and the risks a company may face.

Exemption and Negative Clearance

Ensuring that commercial collaborations proceed on a sound competition law footing depends on making the right assessment and establishing the right strategy from the outset.

Consultancy

The competition law implications of commercial decisions become far more predictable when they are assessed before a practice is put into effect.

Litigation

Competition Board decisions can have lasting consequences for a company’s commercial activities and regulatory exposure, making effective judicial review a critical part of the process.
