Turkish Competition Authority

The Turkish Competition Authority (Rekabet Kurumu) is the independent regulatory body responsible for enforcing Turkey's Competition Law No. 4054, which prohibits anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominant position, and reviews mergers and acquisitions for competition concerns. Based in Ankara, the Authority employs competition experts, case handlers, and legal advisors who investigate cartels, conduct dawn raids, analyze merger notifications, and prepare decisions for the Competition Board (Rekabet Kurulu). Legal professionals at the Authority gain deep expertise in Turkish and EU competition law, economic analysis, and regulatory enforcement. The Authority also issues sector inquiries, monitors digital markets, and engages with the European Commission and the International Competition Network (ICN). Positions at the Competition Authority are among the most sought-after regulatory careers for Turkish law graduates.
