SIGNUM presents at KPLA’S XIII international Atyrau conference

Sofiya Zhylkaidarova, Managing Partner, participated at the KPLA conference in April 2015. Sofiya spoke on “Liability for Irrational Subsoil Use: Certain Legal Aspects». This topic stirred a great interest among the audience, as it not only addressed all statutory requirements, but also offered a case study based on the firm’s litigation practice in relation to compensation of damages. In particular, the case study included issues related to compensation claims for reduced oil production, compensation for historical and environmental damages, and others. Our firm’s litigation practice on matters related to compensation of damages in subsoil use area under the claims of government agencies is dynamically developing, and the cases won are unique in their nature.

For information: Kazakhstan Petroleum lawyers Association was established in 2002 and comprises more than 200 practicing oil and gas lawyers. This conference is traditionally held in April each year in Atyrau.
