LGP has been active in Kazakhstan since 2009 and advises both Kazakh and European multinationals. LGP's areas of expertise in Kazakhstan include corporate law, M&A, antitrust law, tax law, construction law, European and sanctions law, and labour law. In 2013, LGP acquired an Astana-based subsidiary, Lansky, Ganzger & Partner Kazakhstan LLP. By simultaneously establishing a local branch, LGP has succeeded in continuously expanding its client base in Kazakhstan. We offer on-site legal assistance by our Kazakh lawyers. In addition, a team of native-speaking lawyers and translators based in Vienna ensures the efficient use of resources and quality management.
