Since 2010, at the end of each year we compiled the articles that are posted monthly on our website in a book to allow our readers an outlook on the year's key legal developments.

We continued the tradition of the past years for this publication of Newsletter 2016. In 2016, our team wrote on a wide variety of legal disciplines some of which are in new areas of law developed in parallel to meet the needs of the today's business.

The chapter on Legal Developments provides a global insight into material developments in international agreements, laws, regulations, communiques as well as a synopsis of the decisions of the Turkish Competition Board and the Privatization Authority, and a list of energy legislation made effective in 2016 and extracts of key court precedence. We believe that this last chapter portrays an executive look on legal developments of 2016.
