Media and Entertainment
We advise television channels, publishers, and digital platforms on licensing, distribution, and advertising regulations. We provide comprehensive support, including on RTÜK (Radio and Television Supreme Council) rules, sponsorship agreements, and content licensing. We also counsel production companies, record labels, artists, and agencies on copyright, performance rights, production agreements, and distribution contracts.
Sports Law
We advise clubs, athletes, sponsors, and media companies on sports-related legal matters, including sponsorship deals, broadcasting and media rights, licensing, image rights, and transfer agreements. Our work also covers regulatory compliance before sports federations, dispute resolution in arbitral bodies like the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and FIBA, and disciplinary investigations.
Telecommunications and Digital Infrastructure
We support operators and infrastructure providers with licensing, interconnection, spectrum allocation, and regulatory compliance before the ICTA (Information and Communication Technologies Authority). We play an active role in 5G, digitalization projects, and cross-border connectivity regulations.
Digital Platforms and Online Content Management
