The Legal 500 Country Comparative Guides 2026: Türkiye - Mergers & Acquisitions
We are pleased to announce that Erdem & Erdem is the exclusive contributor of the Türkiye chapter of The Legal 500 Mergers & Acquisitions Country Comparative Guide 2026.
Authored by our Partner and Head of Corporate and M&A, Tuna Çolgar, and Managing Associate Melissa Balıkçı Sezen, the chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the mergers and acquisitions laws and regulations applicable in Türkiye, covering key legal frameworks, regulatory authorities, market trends, and the factors expected to shape M&A activity in the years ahead.
The guide highlights the Turkish Commercial Code's provisions on company mergers, spin-offs, and conversions; the notification obligations and approval thresholds under the Law on the Protection of Competition; and the Capital Markets Law's special procedures applicable to publicly traded companies in connection with significant transactions.
M&A activity in Türkiye saw a notable increase in both transaction count and volume in 2025, with strong activity recorded across a number of sectors, most prominently retail and technology.
The chapter further analyses the impact of macroeconomic conditions, sectoral trends, and digital transformation on future M&A activity, as well as the duties and responsibilities of directors and the scope of due diligence, which varies based on deal size and industry.
We are proud to contribute to this essential resource for legal professionals and stakeholders involved in cross-border M&A transactions.
