Article 4 of Law No. 4054 bans agreements, concerted practices, and decisions by associations of undertakings that restrict competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common violations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Price fixing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Market or customer sharing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bid rigging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limiting production or supply<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exchange of competitively sensitive information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both written and verbal agreements may fall within the scope of prohibition. Even informal coordination can result in significant administrative fines. Certain agreements may benefit from exemption if they improve efficiency, enhance consumer benefits, and do not eliminate competition entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well-structured <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/contract-drafting-review-services-in-turkiye\/\">contract drafting<\/a><\/strong> plays a vital role in ensuring that commercial agreements comply with competition law requirements while protecting business interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"1172\" src=\"https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/English-Speaking-Lawyer-in-Turkiye.webp\" alt=\"English-Speaking Lawyer in T\u00fcrkiye\" class=\"wp-image-1172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/English-Speaking-Lawyer-in-Turkiye.webp 1200w, https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/English-Speaking-Lawyer-in-Turkiye-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/English-Speaking-Lawyer-in-Turkiye-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/English-Speaking-Lawyer-in-Turkiye-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"1136\" src=\"https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Tax-Audits-in-Turkiye.webp\" alt=\"Tax Audits in T\u00fcrkiye\" class=\"wp-image-1136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Tax-Audits-in-Turkiye.webp 1200w, https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Tax-Audits-in-Turkiye-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Tax-Audits-in-Turkiye-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Tax-Audits-in-Turkiye-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"1192\" src=\"https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Capital-Increase-Procedure-for-Turkish-Companies.webp\" alt=\"Capital Increase Procedure for Turkish Companies\" class=\"wp-image-1192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Capital-Increase-Procedure-for-Turkish-Companies.webp 1200w, https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Capital-Increase-Procedure-for-Turkish-Companies-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Capital-Increase-Procedure-for-Turkish-Companies-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Capital-Increase-Procedure-for-Turkish-Companies-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"1140\" src=\"https:\/\/akkasmusavirlik.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Mergers-Acquisitions-in-Turkiye.webp\" alt=\"Mergers &amp;
