Competition and Regulation Law

Ates Legal places great importance on both legal knowledge and economic approaches in the field of regulatory law. In addition to the fundamental teachings of administrative law, evaluations of industrial economics are also taken into account. This enables us to analyze the economic efficiency and the legality of the possible transactions of regulatory/supervisory institutions. Within the scope of our services, Ates Legal covers the workings and regulations of administrative bodies such as the Competition Authority, as well as other institutions, including the Personal Data Protection Authority, the Energy Market Regulatory Authority, the Information and Communication Technologies Authority, the Radio and Television Supreme Council, the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency and the Tobacco and Alcohol Market Regulatory Authority.

We provide a wide range of services to companies operating in sectors subject to state oversight and regulation, including those in the energy, environment, telecommunications, media, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and education industries. Our services in these sectors include:

Compliance with regulations and risk assessment
In-house training and compliance programs
