Administrative and Tax Law

Strategic representation in the field of administrative and tax law

Transactions based on public power can directly affect companies' operating permits, financial obligations, supply chain, property rights, investment plans and corporate reputation. For this reason, the main issue in administrative and tax law disputes is not only to assert the illegality of the transaction; To establish an effective application and litigation strategy by accurately reading the commercial, financial and operational consequences of the transaction.

The aim of the processes carried out before administrative courts, tax courts, regional administrative courts and relevant public institutions is to handle the dispute not only on the case file scale, but in terms of the commercial continuity of the client and long-term risk management. This approach is of decisive importance, especially for companies, investors, foreign trade actors, real estate owners and clients operating in regulated sectors.

Administrative procedures; It may occur in the form of license, permit, licence, suspension of activity, administrative fine, ban from public tender, zoning application, expropriation, sanction established as a result of inspection or regulatory authority decision. The procedure to be followed against these transactions should be determined according to the nature of the transaction, special legislation, notification date, application obligation and the result targeted by the client.

In annulment cases, the transaction must be evaluated in terms of authority, form, reason, subject and purpose. If the implementation of the action will cause irreparable or impossible damages, the request for a stay of execution becomes the center of the litigation strategy. In transactions such as license cancellation, activity restriction, high administrative fine, tender ban, zoning application, customs sanction and tax assessment, the request for stay of execution must be established in a strong, concrete and compatible manner with the reality of the file.

In the restructuring processes, not only the ease of payment but also the impact of the relevant application on the right to sue, interest burden, accessory receivables and long-term tax position should be taken into account.
