**When KFD can help**

Competition law often becomes a concrete issue while a business decision is being made. KFD assists clients in particular when:

- A price list is being updated or a new dealer, distribution or supply agreement is being signed
- The company is participating alongside competitors in a tender, trade association or joint project
- It must be determined whether a merger, acquisition or joint venture requires Turkish Competition Board clearance
- The Turkish Competition Authority launches an unannounced on-site inspection, or preliminary investigation, investigation, settlement, leniency or commitment options are being assessed
- A compliance programme is being designed and sales teams need practical guidance for day-to-day situations
