When you find yourself in the middle of a cross-border dispute in Central Asia, you need lawyers who can combine solid local knowledge with international expertise.  Dentons’ arbitration group in Central Asia regularly assists in the resolution of disputes that arise between our clients and their business partners or with regulatory authorities.  Our lawyers are engaged as counsel before bodies such as the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), as well as in several non-institutional arbitrations under the UNCITRAL Rules, or on a purely ad hoc basis.

Turn to our arbitration team for strategic advice on arbitration options under production-sharing agreements, shareholder agreements and other private contracts, as well as under bilateral and international treaties, particularly involving the energy and natural resources industry.

We act as counsel in investment litigation with the participation of government and state bodies.  We are also frequently consulted for advice on procedural matters such as questions of jurisdiction, arbitrability, the constitution of arbitral tribunals and arbitration laws, rules and practices.  In fact, we are among a handful of international law firms operating in Kazakhstan to have significant expertise in enforcing arbitral awards and representing clients in actions before domestic courts.

In addition to having specific local expertise, our specialists work closely with the wider Dentons International Arbitration Group globally on large-scale arbitrations in leading venues such as Stockholm, Paris, and London.

Whether you are a major foreign investor or a local subsidiary, you can turn to our extensive experience and our track record handling high-value, large-scale arbitrations.  Aigoul Kenjebayeva of our Kazakhstan practice is listed regularly by The International Who’s Who of Commercial Arbitration as the only lawyer from Kazakhstan nominated by clients and peers as one of the world’s leading arbitrators.  Aigoul also serves as a member of the editorial board of the Stockholm Arbitration Report.

Beyond just handling the legal aspects of arbitration cases, we make it our business to understand yours to help attain the best possible outcome. That's why we have also developed deep sector knowledge in industries such as oil and gas, mining, financial services, infrastructure and government.

Partner with Dentons when you have an arbitration in Central Asia that needs specialist handling.
