SIGNUM has boosted capabilities in the Kazakhstan legal market according to the THE LEGAL 500 EMEA, 2021

SIGNUM has strengthened its position in the Kazakhstan legal market by uplifting the ranking of the Dispute Resolution practice and confirming the rankings in Corporate and Finance, Tax and Customs, Energy and Natural resources according to The Legal 500 EMEA 2021.

“SIGNUM provides excellent experience and knowledge of the Kazakh legal landscape, together with an understanding of international projects and how they can be implemented”

 “The focus on the Dispute Resolution practice was a strategic move to address the challenges of business in 2020. During the economic decline, international and local businesses are much more likely to face the need to litigate. Anticipating client needs, we have boosted and strengthened the capabilities of the Dispute Resolution practice, which is now among the best in the country” - comments Talgat Sariev, Partner, and Head of SIGNUM's Dispute Resolution practice.

 The Legal500 recommends SIGNUM’s Managing Partner Sofiya Zhylkaidarova as a leading lawyer in Kazakhstan and acknowledges the practice leadership of Partners - Liza Zhumakhmetova, Abylkhair Nakipov, Talgat Sariev, and Gaukhar Kudaibergenova, as well as the Firm's Of Counsel - Bauyrzhan Sharibayev.

The Legal 500 EMEA 2021 assesses the capabilities of international, regional, and national law firms in Kazakhstan in 6 practice areas. It is noteworthy that very few national law firms successfully compete with the international and regional firms in Kazakhstan. The share of national law firms in The Legal 500 EMEA 2021 is less than 30% for Kazakhstan.

Based on the results of 2020, SIGNUM is recommended by ALL international legal ranking agencies, including The Legal 500, Chambers & Partners, IFLR 1000, Asialaw profiles, and also recognized by the professional regional awards The Lawyer European Awards: Russian and the CIS and Pravo.ru-300 International.
