⚖️ What is Capital Markets Law in Turkey?
Capital markets law in Turkey governs the issuance, trading, and regulation of securities. It is primarily regulated by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). Foreign investors and Turkish corporations alike must comply with strict legal requirements in public offerings, financial disclosures, and investor protections.
The SPK acts as both regulator and guardian—establishing balance between market freedom and investor security.
⚖️ Legal Advisory for Public Offerings and IPOs
Our lawyers provide end-to-end legal services for IPOs, including prospectus review, company eligibility assessments, SPK filing, and listing support on Borsa Istanbul.
Every IPO is more than a transaction—it is a declaration of market presence.
⚖️ Compliance Strategy for Capital Market Institutions
We assist brokerage firms, portfolio managers, and fintech startups in designing compliance frameworks under Turkish law. This includes SPK licensing, internal audit structures, and reporting obligations.
Compliance is not a checkbox—it is your license to operate and expand.
⚖️ Structuring Financial Instruments and Investor Protection
Legal structuring of capital market instruments involves prospectus drafting, risk disclosures, terms of issue, and compliance with investor protection standards.
Financial tools without legal clarity become financial risks.
