ÖzmenYalçin

Since its foundation in March 2022, the ‘responsive, analytical and diligent’ team at ÖzmenYalçin has rapidly made in-roads into the finance market for a varied mix of banks and corporates, which are appreciative of their ability to ’bring an-outside-the-box approach to transactions with their understanding of non-legal aspects of deals’. The firm is best-known for its capital markets expertise, with a sizeable deal flow that has meant that they are furnished with ‘the most up to date information on how regulators might respond to complex situations and advise clients accordingly’. Güneş Yalçın is particularly visible on behalf of financial institutions as issuers in the DCM market, regularly advising local banks on Eurobank issuances as well as their MTN programmes. The ’exceptionally commercial’  Ömer Gökhan Özmen, who co-heads the team alongside Yalcin, is noted for his ECM prowess (including on IPOs and secondary public offerings), as well as his work for borrowers and lenders on club and bilateral deals to fund large projects and M&A transactions. The ‘hardworking and client-oriented’ Murat Ayyildiz excels at handling the technical aspects of the IPO work and also provides advice on subsequent ongoing regulatory compliance as a listed entity. Damla Keskin Şerbetcioğlu is praised for her ’strong business acumen’, which manifests itself in energy-related banking and capital markets work, in particular.
