Headquartered in Almaty, MWP was established in Kazakhstan in 1998 and in Azerbaijan in 2003.Combining years of collective experience in the CIS, MWP’s key personnel have been actively practising in this Region for more than 12 years on a resident full-time basis, taking a leading role on many of the groundbreaking transactions in a variety of sectors.
Today, MWP continues to maintain its position as the region’s largest independent law firm and is as well considered a key strategic partner to its clients - both foreign and domestic - in mining and natural resources sectors, utilities, cross-border transactions, all aspects of foreign investment, joint ventures, financing, privatisations, restructurings, transportation, domestic and international dispute resolution, intellectual property, trademarks and general corporate and commercial law.
Founded and fully focused on Central Asia and the Caucasus, MWP provides the best legal services specific to such an emerging region where a cultural understanding and appreciation of the Central Asian approach to legislation and business is vital to commercial success, and is also able to draw on the strength and expertise of leaders in the world’s money-centres as and when the need arises.
The close working relationships we enjoy with many global law firms underscores the firm’s pre-eminent reputation in the Almaty legal market. Referring firms include (without limitation) Linklaters, Freshfields, Clifford Chance, Allen & Overy, Herbert Smith, Ashursts O’Melveny Myers, Greenberg Traurig, Latham & Watkins, Richards Butler, Freehills, Ogilvy & Renault and Goodman Carr, and many more.
Furthermore, as the use of the Kazakh language in business increases, the Firm has been able to draw on its many Kazakh staff, who are capable of speaking, writing, and translating to and from Kazakh into Russian and English.
