Drawing upon 'deep legal knowledge' across a range of financing products, including Shari'ah-compliant techniques, Erdem & Erdem Law Office is well-placed to advise a fairly balanced mix of corporates and borrowers seeking or receiving funding for a variety of purposes. İbrahim Onur Baysal spearheads the firm's capital markets offering and is able to provide deep regulatory insight, in part due to his previous tenure at the Capital Markets Board of Turkey; he has recently handled numerous IPOs for issuers. Ercüment Erdem also handles regulatory and transactional capital markets work (chiefly within the DCM space), and co-heads the overarching finance team alongside Baysal and Ozgur Kocabasoglu, who excels at transactions with a nexus to China.
