Rashid and Charles discussed the dispute-resolution landscape in Central Asia, from differences in jurisdiction and enforcement between states to the rise of construction and renewable-energy claims, and the overlap between commercial and investor-state cases. They also touched on headline matters around the Kashagan and Karachaganak oil fields, using them to illustrate recurring themes such as delay and cost-overrun claims on megaprojects, and the practicalities of enforcing against state-linked counterparties.
Rashid also shared insights from his career as a dual-qualified UK and Kazakh practitioner and spoke about the growth of the AIFC (Astana International Financial Centre) as a credible regional forum offering English law-based dispute resolution for foreign investors.
As a London dispute-resolution boutique focused on cross-border matters, Eldwick Law is proud to contribute to thoughtful discussion in this area and to support the legal community’s engagement with a fast-evolving region.
