Regulatory & Compliance
Licensing, sectoral authorisations, data protection (KVKK) and ongoing compliance, helping businesses meet their regulatory obligations, build them into operations, and respond when a regulator raises a question or opens an investigation.
Scope of practice
A company may be validly incorporated yet unable to operate without sectoral authorisation, permits or approvals. We help businesses identify the regulatory requirements that apply to their activity, build practical compliance into how they operate, and respond when a regulator raises a question. Where data protection is engaged, we advise on KVKK and, for cross-border operations, on the interaction with UK and other regimes.
We map the approvals, registrations and ongoing obligations that attach to a particular activity and help build them into normal operations rather than treating them as an afterthought. When a regulator does make contact, the difference between a routine enquiry and a serious problem often lies in how the first response is handled, and in whether the underlying records were kept in order from the start.
Typical matters
- Sectoral licensing and regulatory analysis
- Compliance frameworks and policies
- Data protection (KVKK / UK GDPR) and cross-border transfers
- Anti-bribery and internal compliance
- Regulatory enquiries and investigations
- Competition-law notification analysis
How we assist
We translate regulatory obligations into practical steps a business can actually take, and we help clients respond to enquiries calmly and on a sound legal footing.

Public Procurement, Tender Challenges and Bid Exclusion Strategy: The Legal Fight Before the Contract Is Signed
A public tender is often lost before anyone reads the price. One expired certificate, one defective guarantee, one unclear consortium document, one late objection or one misunderstood exclusion ground can remove a capable bidder from the process. Public procurement is not ordinary sales, it is a legal procedure with commercial consequences. This briefing explains how contractors, suppliers, investors and international bidders should treat the tender file as evidence, and fight the procurement contest before the contract exists, in Türkiye and the United Kingdom.
