Our service areas
End-to-end competition law support in Türkiye
Competition Risk Mapping
We review agreements, pricing practices, sales channels, competitor contacts and internal communications from a competition law perspective. Risks are classified and prioritised according to their significance and the need for intervention.
Typical outputs: Risk map Priority matrix Action plan
Dawn Raid Preparedness and Response
We help companies prepare for on-site inspections carried out by the Turkish Competition Authority and design the legal and operational response process. Employee roles, dawn raid protocols, digital data processes, IT preparedness and simulations may form part of the engagement.
Typical outputs: Dawn raid handbook Roles and responsibilities matrix Simulation report Checklists Emergency response protocol
Investigations and Defence Strategy
From preliminary investigation to final decision, we assess the legal and economic framework of the case together with the evidence and relevant precedent. Defence strategy is built around the facts of the matter, the company's commercial position and the procedural options available.
Typical outputs: Strategy memorandum Written submissions Oral hearing preparation Precedent research Scenario analysis
Mergers, Acquisitions and Joint Ventures
We assess transactions under Turkish merger control rules and advise on notification requirements, change of control, market definition and potential competitive effects. Where required, we support notification and clearance proceedings before the Turkish Competition Authority in line with the transaction timetable.
Typical outputs: Notification requirement assessment Competition analysis Merger filing Gun-jumping protocol Closing timetable
Distribution, Dealership and Commercial Agreements
We advise on dealership, distribution, agency, exclusivity, online sales, resale pricing and other vertical arrangements. Our analysis considers both the contractual language and how the arrangement operates in practice.
Typical outputs: Agreement review Amendment recommendations Exemption assessment Distribution model analysis Commercial policy guidance
Compliance Programmes and Training
We design competition law compliance programmes around the company's actual risk profile. Role-specific training and controls can be developed for sales, procurement, management, HR and other relevant teams.
Typical outputs: Compliance policy Decision trees Training programme Monitoring framework Reporting set
Labour Market Competition Risks
We assess no-poach arrangements, wage fixing, employee mobility restrictions and the exchange of HR-related information from a competition law perspective. Recruitment, compensation and employee mobility practices can also be reviewed as part of a broader risk assessment.
Dominance and Market Power
We assess market power, exclusivity, tying, exclusionary conduct, access restrictions and pricing practices. Particular attention is given to strategic commercial decisions taken by companies with strong market positions.
Commitments, Settlement and Leniency
We assess the legal, financial and strategic implications of procedural mechanisms such as commitments, settlement and leniency. The available options are compared in light of the facts and objectives of the case.
Internal Audit and Document Review
We review emails, presentations, agreements, dealer communications, meeting notes and internal reports for competition law sensitivities. The objective is to identify potentially problematic conduct and language before they develop into larger compliance or enforcement risks.
Digital Markets and Platform Strategies
We advise on software, platform markets, data access, algorithmic pricing, online marketplaces and digital distribution models. The analysis focuses on the relationship between growth strategy, platform conduct and competition law constraints.
Exemption and Negative Clearance Assessments
We assess cooperation agreements, distribution arrangements, supply agreements, joint projects, R&D, production and marketing arrangements. The analysis considers safe harbours, exemption conditions and whether a filing or formal assessment may be appropriate.
Sector experience
Competition law does not operate independently of the market. The same legal rule can produce very different practical implications depending on pricing structures, distribution systems, market concentration, supply chains and sector regulation. We therefore assess competition law issues together with the economic and commercial characteristics of the relevant industry.
