You may below the details each type of services we offer:

i. Risk Assessment & Due Diligence

Turkish regulatory law imposes extensive compliance obligations across multiple domains—from competition law and data protection, to sector-specific requirements. Non-compliance exposes companies to administrative fines, license suspensions, criminal liability, and reputational damage.

Effective compliance begins with understanding regulatory exposure. Companies need comprehensive risk assessments that identify vulnerabilities, evaluate likelihood and severity of regulatory action, and prioritize compliance investments strategically. We conduct thorough regulatory risk assessments tailored to business models and industries, perform due diligence reviews for transactions including mergers, acquisitions, investments, and joint ventures, identify gaps in current compliance programs, benchmark against regulatory expectations and industry best practices, and deliver actionable recommendations with implementation roadmaps.

Our findings enable clients to anticipate potential and ongoing investigation and litigation outcomes, allowing investors to make well-informed decisions about legal and financial risks of target companies and enabling businesses to address vulnerabilities proactively and prepare effective defense strategies where necessary.

ii. Incident Response

When regulatory incidents occur—data breaches, workplace accidents, product safety issues, corruption allegations, or compliance violations—the initial response determines whether the incident remains contained or escalates into a full-scale regulatory crisis.

Incident response requires immediate action, coordinated decision-making under pressure, legal privilege protection, and strategic communication with multiple stakeholders including regulators, customers, employees, and the public. We provide rapid response services, establish privileged incident response teams, conduct immediate legal assessments, advise on mandatory reporting obligations to the regulators, manage regulatory notifications and communications, coordinate with external advisors including forensic, public relations, and technical experts, and develop remediation plans to prevent recurrence and demonstrate good faith to authorities.

iii. Internal Investigations

When potential regulatory violations are detected internally—through whistleblower reports, audit findings, or management concerns—companies must investigate promptly to assess exposure, preserve evidence, satisfy duty-of-care obligations under Turkish corporate law, and prepare for potential regulatory scrutiny or voluntary disclosure.

Internal investigations require forensic interviewing skills, document review expertise, cross-functional coordination, and the ability to present findings in a legally defensible manner. We design and execute privilege-protected internal investigations, conduct witness interviews, review and analyze relevant documentation and electronic evidence, coordinate with forensic accountants and technical experts, prepare investigation reports with findings and recommendations, and advise on remedial actions, disciplinary measures, and disclosure obligations.

iv. Ethics & Governance Advisory

Companies face evolving expectations to implement robust ethics and compliance policies—including codes of conduct, anti-corruption policies, data protection protocols, workplace policies, and sector-specific compliance programs. Additionally, corporate governance frameworks impose requirements on companies—including board composition and duties, audit committee functions, related party transaction controls, disclosure obligations, and stakeholder rights.

Well-designed policies and governance structures not only satisfy legal obligations but also establish a culture of compliance, prevent regulatory violations, and provide mitigation in enforcement proceedings. Effective policies must be legally compliant, operationally practical, and integrated into actual business processes to withstand regulatory scrutiny. We draft customized ethics and compliance policies tailored to industries, business models, and risk profiles, ensure alignment with Turkish regulatory requirements and international standards, design practical implementation mechanisms and escalation procedures, advise on governance structures that support regulatory compliance and prevent administrative and criminal liability, integrate policies with governance frameworks and reporting lines, and update policies to reflect regulatory developments and organizational changes.

v. Corporate Training Programs

Effective compliance requires that employees, managers, and executives understand their regulatory obligations and company policies. The regulators increasingly consider employee training as evidence of adequate compliance programs when they evaluate sanctions.

Employees need practical, role-specific guidance delivered in accessible formats that drive behavioral change and create institutional memory. We design and deliver customized training programs addressing relevant regulatory topics, tailor content to different audiences including board members, senior management, and operational staff, provide interactive workshops and case study exercises, offer ongoing training support and updates as regulations evolve, and document training completion to demonstrate compliance efforts to authorities
