About

Provided by Erdem & Erdem

Led by Founder and Senior Partner Ercüment Erdem, our Competition & Compliance team provides strategic counsel on M&A, abuse of dominance, and compliance, drawing on deep Turkish and EU law expertise.

Competition Investigations

We represent clients before the Competition Authority against allegations of price-fixing, concerted practices, or territorial restrictions. Combining legal mastery with sector knowledge, we manage complex proceedings and litigation to protect client rights at every stage.

Abuse of Dominance

Dominant firms, especially in banking, energy, and telecommunications, bear specific legal responsibilities. Our preventive approach focuses on understanding business models to provide strategic guidance, enabling compliant decision-making without creating unnecessary operational constraints.

Mergers and Acquisitions

We manage competition approvals, addressing joint venture structures and information exchange risks. By structuring transactions correctly from the outset, we eliminate uncertainties that increase costs or reputational risks, preventing delays at final stages.

Compliance Programs

The Erdem & Erdem Competition Compliance Program offers tailored, sustainable systems that minimize legal uncertainty. We help clients integrate compliance into corporate governance as a core component rather than a mere legal obligation.
