Competition law is one of APX Legal’s core practice areas. We advise and represent domestic and international companies on a wide range of competition law matters, including investigations before the Turkish Competition Authority, merger control notifications and abuse of dominance.
Our work includes representing companies in preliminary inquiries and investigations conducted by the Turkish Competition Authority, preparing written and oral defences, managing dawn raids, developing commitments and designing preventive measures to support compliance with competition law. We also advise on the competition law assessment of mergers and acquisitions, manage merger notification procedures and assist with obtaining the necessary clearances.
Our competition law practice extends beyond administrative inquiries and investigations. We support companies in their day-to-day commercial decisions involving distribution and dealership systems, vertical and horizontal agreements, joint venture arrangements, information exchange mechanisms, pricing policies, digital platform practices and competition restrictions in labour markets. We attach as much importance to the characteristics of the sectors in which our clients operate as we do to the applicable legal requirements.
Designing competition compliance programmes, conducting internal reviews, delivering competition law training and organising mock dawn raids are also important elements of our practice. Our aim is not merely to address competition risks once they materialise, but to help companies assess those risks proactively as part of their decision-making and business processes.
