CAC has a distinctive public law practice combining strong academic expertise with extensive practical experience in proceedings involving public authorities. Our lawyers advise and represent Turkish and international clients on complex administrative and regulatory matters across a wide range of sectors, including energy and natural resources, infrastructure, banking, mining, information technology, automotive, cement, iron and steel, consumer products and other regulated industries.

Our practice covers administrative investigations, regulatory proceedings, licences and permits, administrative sanctions and other measures imposed by regulatory and supervisory authorities, ministries, governorships and other public bodies. We assist clients throughout administrative proceedings, from the initial investigation and preparation of submissions and defences to administrative applications and judicial review before the administrative courts.

CAC also represents clients in disputes concerning the legality of administrative acts and actions, including regulatory measures, administrative fines, restrictions affecting investments and business operations, and decisions concerning licences, permits and approvals. Our experience extends to claims for the recovery of amounts paid pursuant to unlawful administrative measures and compensation for losses caused by administrative acts and actions.

Our public law practice is particularly experienced in matters arising at the intersection of private investment and public regulation. We advise investors and companies on the public law implications of their investments, commercial arrangements and transactions, and provide strategic legal assessments where administrative proceedings or regulatory decisions may affect ongoing projects or contractual relationships.

Members of our team hold advanced academic degrees, including Ph.D. degrees in administrative law and tax law, and have combined academic work with many years of practice before public authorities and administrative courts. This combination enables us to approach complex public law matters not only from a litigation perspective, but also with a thorough understanding of the underlying principles of administrative and constitutional law.Our public law practice includes advising clients in all aspects of public law. We have extensive experience of representing clients from both private and public sector on public law issues.
