In today’s world, it is not possible to conduct a business without understanding competition law or by ignoring them. ACTECON combines its partners experience at Competition Authority and consulting business to show a clear path to its clients.

Representing Clients before the Competition Authority (back)

ACTECON is the unique consultancy firm where economists with in depth industry knowledge and experienced competition lawyers work together. ACTECON presents market realities with well developed legal and economic defenses and cooperates with lawyers and practitioners of the companies during the competition investigations. We also provide technical support to Companies’ lawyers during the appeal procedure of Competition Board’s decisions.

ACTECON considers competition investigations as “opportunity of raising the degree of competition awareness and creating permanent effect with a law cost for Companies” and “opportunity of comprehending sector characteristics and analyzing (de)regulations required so as to correct permanent market failures for the Competition Authority”.

Notification of Mergers and Acquisitions (back)

According to new Turkish merger control regime, the notification will be compulsory for the parties, in case their total Turkey turnover exceeds 100 million TL and turnover of each of at least two of them exceeds 30 million TL, or the world-wide turnover of at least one of the parties exceeds 500 million TL and turnover of at least one of other parties exceeds 5 million TL. It is crucial to have legal certainty as soon as possible in these kinds of operations.

ACTECON also provides economic consultancy services to local and international law firms concerning concentration analysis and merger simulations on target markets.

Analysis and Notifications of Negative Clearance and Individual Exemption (back)

Numerous vertical or horizontal agreements/cooperation between undertakings exceed limits of block exemption communiqués of the Competition Board and cause penal responsibility as they lost their legal validity. However, it is possible to make necessary amendments and ensure the grant of individual exemption to these kinds of agreements by giving them legitimacy. ACTECON analyzes jurisprudence, realizes economic analysis and prepares agreement drafts for this aim. In this context, it is possible to notify these agreements to Competition Authority for legal safety or to have comments of independent experts so as to determine risks.
