Corruption offenses represent the intersection of criminal law and public administration, involving some of the most serious white collar charges with severe penalties and profound reputational consequences. Corruption prosecutions attract intense media attention and public scrutiny, often taking on political dimensions that complicate legal defense strategies. Even unfounded allegations can permanently damage careers and business reputations in ways that legal vindication cannot fully repair.

Our corruption defense practice combines scholarly expertise in criminal law and administrative law with proactive compliance advisory services for businesses seeking to navigate anti-corruption requirements. These matters require understanding of government procurement regulations, public administration landscape, the legal boundaries between legitimate interaction with public officials and criminal conduct, and the political and media environment in which these prosecutions often unfold.

Beyond defending against allegations, we counsel businesses on developing robust anti-corruption compliance programs, conducting internal investigations, implementing effective controls for public sector interactions, and ensuring adherence to Turkish anti-corruption laws and international standards.

We represent both private sector clients and public officials, providing sophisticated defense strategies and preventive guidance tailored to each client's unique circumstances.
