‘I can safely say that the team is extraordinarily competent. I have worked with it on various IPOs. After seeing its aptitude in various IPO processes, we have entrusted our company's IPO to the firm. The team is always responsive and alert, and overall it is great to work with!’
‘I worked with Kaan Demir and Mert Ceylan. Their services have been crucial in several IPOs featuring difficulties in capital and offering structure, labyrinthine legislation with unforeseeable application, and ongoing significant litigation. Both are very knowledgeable in capital markets, especially on the sell-side.’
