About Cagatay
Cagatay Ersoy combined legal training from two continents before getting into a firm management role in New York. He earned a LL.B. from Istanbul University Faculty of Law in 2015 and returned to formal study to finish a LL.M. at Columbia Law School in 2022. Those years bookend a shift from a domestic legal education to publicity to U.S. law schools and New York’s legal environment.
His path to practice in the United States was methodical. After finishing his Columbia degree, he obtained membership in the State Bar of New York in 2024, a step that allowed him to practice in that jurisdiction. The membership came two years after his LL.M., and it set the stage for his next expert pass — taking over a senior role at a New York company.
In 2024 he have become Managing Lawyer at Capitol Law Partners PLLC. The title displays responsibility for client things and inner practice oversight. In that position he has overseen casework, supervised associates, and coordinated with outside general counsel. The position also includes administrative duties that accompany operating a small firm in a major U.S. jurisdiction.
Ersoy’s academic background offers him a basis in both Turkish and American legal systems. That combination informs how he strategies problems that cross borders or involve comparative legal questions. He can draw on education from Istanbul University and Columbia Law to evaluate variations in legal frameworks and to advise on procedural or substantive points that occur when things contact more than one legal authority.
Today he practices at Capitol Law Partners PLLC in New York. His work centers on matters the place U.S. regulation intersects with international worries, and he makes a speciality of cross-border commercial and regulatory things in his current practice.
