Rich in oil reserves, minerals, and metals, Kazakhstan is the largest economy in Central Asia. Our presence in the region delivers an important portal for clients in the energy, finance, telecommunications, and utilities sectors. Almaty’s Managing Partner, Aset Shyngyssov, who also leads the firm’s Astana office, has more than 18 years of experience handling complex transactions in various sectors, including oil and gas, energy, and banking, throughout Kazakhstan and elsewhere in Central Asia.

We handle a wide variety of business transactions—both within the country and the broader Central Asia and Caspian region—with an emphasis on energy, infrastructure, telecommunication, banking, and capital markets projects. The office builds on its significant mergers and acquisitions, corporate, finance, securities issuances, and joint venture practices. Capabilities also include project finance, capital markets, private equity, real estate, regulatory, tax, and corporate governance/compliance.
