Y. Jay Baykara

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

More than a decade at the bar, building not just a practice but the business of law itself.

Jay is redefining what a CEO looks like in the creditor space. His conviction is simple: the client's success defines the company's, so he builds partnerships, not retainers, and backs them with machine-learning-driven strategy, measurable outcomes and the ksi.P³ operating system. Named a Lexpert 2024 Lawyer to Watch, he brings a decade of trial and appellate experience before all levels of court, including the Supreme Court of Canada.

An internationally trained lawyer himself (York to Manchester to Chapel Hill to Toronto), he has spent that decade opening doors for the lawyers coming next.
