MFY Legal

What MFY Legal does

MFY Legal is a full-service boutique law firm headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, founded in 2019 by Av. M. Furkan Yüce (Kurucu Yönetici Avukat / Founding Managing Lawyer). The firm provides legal advisory, consultancy, and representation services across more than 20 practice areas, including corporate and commercial law, M&A, real estate, banking and finance, immigration and nationality law (with particular emphasis on Turkish Citizenship by Investment), international and national arbitration, administrative law, energy, aviation, sports, maritime, insurance, intellectual property, labor, criminal, family, and inheritance law.

The firm's business model is professional services–based, generating revenue through billable legal advisory and representation on a per-engagement, project, or retainer basis. MFY Legal serves a dual client base: (i) foreign investors and high-net-worth individuals seeking Turkish citizenship or residency through investment, where attorney fees are estimated at USD 5,000–10,000 per matter; and (ii) Turkish and international corporate and institutional clients — notably T.C. Ziraat Bankası (Ziraat Bank), Ziraat Filo, and Norway-based ColliCare Logistics — for ongoing or project-based corporate legal advisory. The firm also represents parties in international commercial and investment arbitration before institutions including ICC, UNCITRAL, CAS, ISTAC, and ITOTAM.

MFY Legal operates from a single office in the Skyland Istanbul business complex in Sarıyer, Istanbul. The firm employs between 1 and 10 people, with only the founding managing lawyer individually identified. It employs a sales-led, content-driven go-to-market, anchored by an extensive bilingual (Turkish/English) blog, a weekly segmented email newsletter, and an active presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X/Twitter. The firm is privately held, founder-owned, and operates without external institutional investment.
