ÖzmenYalçin
Client SatisfactionAlthough it has better established banking and finance credentials, ÖzmenYalçin has also quickly gained traction in the M&A market since it was established in April 2022 as a spin-off from Akol Law. In this context, the firm is acting for strategic and financial investors on both domestic and cross-border mandates and has effectively leveraged the firm’s strong capital markets prowess to good effect, including on the pre-IPO investment/corporate restructuring process and in relation to work for publicly-held companies on their listing compliance obligations. Ömer Gökhan Özmen is praised for his ‘exceptional commercial understanding’ and co-heads the team alongside Damla Keskin Şerbetcioğlu.
