Overview
Our Capital Markets practice advises issuers, underwriters, investors, and intermediaries on the full range of equity and debt capital market transactions in Turkey. From initial public offerings through secondary offerings, bond issuances, and structured products, we provide end-to-end legal counsel that covers every stage of the capital markets lifecycle. Our attorneys maintain deep expertise in the regulatory requirements of the Capital Markets Board of Turkey (CMB) and the listing rules of Borsa Istanbul.
Our Approach
Accessing the capital markets is among the most consequential decisions a company can make. We work as an integral part of the deal team, coordinating with investment banks, auditors, and regulators to ensure a smooth execution. Whether a client is going public for the first time, launching a debt offering, or managing the ongoing obligations of a listed company, we deliver practical, commercially focused advice grounded in thorough regulatory knowledge.
