Paksoy

Adept at advising on the full range of products across both the bank lending front, as well as in the capital markets, independent full-service heavyweight Paksoy is a popular choice among banks and corporates, as well as referring international law firms, to structure complex, often first-of-kind domestic and cross-border transactions. The firm’s visibility on both sides of the table ensures that it has excellent insight from both creditor and debtor perspectives, ensuring it is able to successfully push for the best terms for their client while remaining ‘pragmatic and results-focused’. Sera Somay reflects this balanced client perspective and remains very active for corporates and lenders (including commercial banks and IFIs) seeking or providing financing, including an increasing amount linked to sustainability/green metrics. The vastly experienced Ömer Çollak spearheads the firm’s capital markets offering, advising a balanced mix of issuers and underwriters across the full spectrum of products, including on IPOs, high yield debt and hybrid products. Beril Paksoy and Merve Kurdak, who were both recently promoted to counsel, are both also skilled on the transactional front, with Kurdak also adept at handling fintech regulatory matters.
