Competition Law
Merger control, platform conduct and distribution agreements under Turkish and EU competition rules. The filing you did not know you needed, caught before the fine.
Book a 15-min intro callCompetition law reaches technology companies earlier than founders expect. Since 2022, an acquisition of a technology undertaking active in Türkiye can require notification to the Competition Authority regardless of the usual turnover thresholds, which catches acquihires and small strategic deals that would once have passed unnoticed. Exclusivity clauses, pricing rules imposed on resellers and the conduct of a fast-growing platform raise their own questions.
We tell you plainly whether a deal needs clearance, prepare and file the notification, and review the agreements and practices that create exposure: distribution and agency terms, most-favoured-customer clauses, data and interoperability conduct on platforms. Where the Authority knocks, we manage the response.
