How are our trade secrets protected during the review?

The review runs on a confidentiality agreement and on staged disclosure: the most sensitive material is opened only at later stages, once the transaction has shown it is real. The NDA carries binding obligations and a penalty clause under the Turkish Code of Obligations (No. 6098), and unlawful disclosure of a trade secret can also give rise to liability under the unfair competition provisions of the Turkish Commercial Code (No. 6102).

Critical data — pricing, the customer list, a production method — is where necessary opened only into a clean team that the advisers alone can reach. Data room access is logged throughout. Where the buyer is also a competitor, further layers of protection are applied. The point of all of it is that as the process advances, the information asymmetry it creates does not end up working against you.
