Administrative & Regulatory Affairs
Understanding local, regional and national authorities and regulations is crucial to managing a successful enterprise in Turkey. Whether your business is in the services or manufacturing sector, these regulations have an impact on the land you have, the offices you work in, the staff you employ and the products and services you provide. From environmental law to planning permissions, negotiating the local regulatory landscape is changing as regulations develop in line with the EU.
Public law is not only important in understanding your local business environment but also for establishment of your businesses in the public sector which is an important market. ErsoyBilgehan can help you provide products and services to the public sector and to meet their standards for procurement. The public client is changing and looking at new ways of doing business, including e-government and outsourcing. We advise both public authorities and their suppliers on meeting emerging needs.
Understanding public regulatory law is of course fundamental for those industries undergoing deregulation, including postal services, energy and transport. We are in touch with the goals of national regulators and with standard industry practice. We can give practical and relevant advice on building a new business or adapting to new regulatory conditions, as well as developing relationships with new customers, suppliers and partners across borders.
