Labour Market Competition Risks
Agreements between competing employers not to solicit each other's staff, or to align wages, are treated as restrictions of competition in the labour market. Enforcement intensity in this area has increased in both Türkiye and the European Union.
What we do
We assess competition law risks in no-poach agreements, wage-fixing, employee transfer restrictions and sharing of HR data. Recruitment, remuneration and employee mobility processes are reviewed from a competition law perspective.
