Automotive, EV & Mobility

The automotive sector sits at the intersection of competition law, technical regulation, tax and customs, energy and data protection, a combination where a single misjudged distribution clause or a missed type-approval requirement can stall a launch or trigger regulatory action. GlobalB Law acts for the full value chain, manufacturers, importers and distributors, dealer networks, suppliers, EV charging operators, fleet and leasing companies, and mobility startups, with a team that understands both the regulatory and the commercial side of the business.

On the traditional automotive side, we structure distribution, dealership and agency networks under the Turkish and EU vertical block-exemption regimes, advise importers on vehicle type-approval, homologation, customs and Special Consumption Tax (ÖTV), negotiate supply and manufacturing contracts up and down the tier structure, and manage product-safety, recall and product-liability exposure.

On the new-mobility side, we advise on EV charging networks and their licensing before the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK), fleet electrification, leasing and vehicle financing, and the legal layer of connected and autonomous vehicles, from UNECE WP.29 cybersecurity rules to telematics and location data under the KVKK and GDPR. Clients get a single team across the whole mobility transition.
