Since its founding in 2021, the ‘hardworking, capable, responsive, and efficient’ boutique finance practice Okat Law has quickly made inroads into the market, gaining a reputation among lenders and borrowers for ’achieving results while grounded in a solid legal foundation’. Key to the firm’s success is the work of ‘exceptionally capable’ founding partner Yalçın Özge Okat, whose former role at the Capital Markets Board ensures that he ’possesses in-depth knowledge of the relevant issues’, both on the regulatory and transactional front. As well as excelling at handling issuer-side IPOs, Okat is also well-versed in broader banking (including ISDA derivatives advice) transactions and fintech-related mandates.
