Astana

Reed Smith’s team of Kazakh, Russian, UK and U.S. qualified lawyers has been providing high quality legal and commercial advice to the Kazakhstan market for more than 15 years. Now located in Astana, our team acts as a guide for clients ranging from government ministries and state-owned entities to domestic and international corporations and individuals.

Our Kazakhstan team is fluent in both Russian and English and has served clients across a range of industries. Our extensive experience in the region has provided us with an acute understanding of business practices and challenges in Central Asia and the Greater Caspian Region, particularly those challenges faced by state and state-owned entities. That knowledge has bolstered the efficacy of Reed Smith’s global network and has earned our Kazakhstan team key-player reputation in arbitration and disputes regarding cross-border M&A, energy and natural resources, nuclear project, financing, banking and capital market matters in the region.
