Transaction support
We handle transactions from review to closing: legal due diligence, deal structure, contracts, support for M&A and real estate deals.
What's included
- Due diligence
- Deal structure
- Contracts
- Signing and registration support
What we do
- Legal due diligence: target company, assets, contracts, litigation, debts, beneficiaries — resulting in a report with a risk map
- Deal structuring: direct, through options, in stages, with conditions precedent; under Kazakhstan law or AIFC jurisdiction
- Deal documentation: share purchase agreements, investment and shareholder agreements, warranties and representations — in Russian and English
- Closing support: corporate approvals, registration actions, settlements
- Deals with a foreign element: apostilles, translations, currency control requirements
When we're especially useful
A foreign investor is buying a Kazakhstan business — we translate local specifics into clear, understandable risks and protect your interests in the documents, not after signing.
Selling a company: we prepare the business for the buyer's due diligence in advance, so you don't lose value on surprises discovered later. Starting a partnership: a shareholder agreement before the deal is always cheaper than a corporate dispute after it.
How the work is structured
- Deal review and scope of due diligence — in plain language, no legal fog
- Personalized commercial proposal: stages, timeline, cost estimate
- Phased work with interim results: first risks, then documents, then closing
- All deal materials — in a secure repository accessible at any time
Frequently asked questions
How long does due diligence take?
It depends on the size of the target company and the depth of review: typical projects take from one to several weeks. We'll fix the exact timeline in the proposal after reviewing the deal.
Can you handle a deal under English law?
Yes — through the AIFC jurisdiction, which operates under English common law with its own court. This is a common choice for deals involving foreign investors.
Are you on the buyer's or seller's side?
We work for either side, but only one in a given deal. We check for conflicts of interest before starting work — that's a firm rule.
