Rashid Gaissin and Waleed Tahirkheli recently travelled to Astana, Kazakhstan to attend client meetings, and deepen Eldwick’s presence within the region.

During their trip, they visited the AIFC (Astana International Financial Centre): a financial hub for not only Central Asian countries, but the Caucasus, Middle East, Europe and China.

Rashid Gaissin and Waleed Tahirkheli were also given a tour of the AIFC Court and International Arbitration Centre: an independent common law court which adjudicates exclusively on claims arising out of the AIFC and other claims where the parties agree to the jurisdiction of the AIFC Court.

The AIFC Court and International Arbitration Centre (IAC) have completed and enforced almost 2200 cases, including 64 court judgments and 415 arbitration awards, including claims with quantum in excess of $300 million.

We are very grateful to Nurkhat Kushimov, Almas Zholamanov, MPA, PMP, CIPR and Yernar Baktiyarov for their personal tour of the AIFC’s facilities.
