‘Haller Lomax team members are very responsive and coming back with a feedback to our questions, unlike what other companies might do.‘

‘Really 1st class service from a team with good strong international experience and modes of work; they know how to operate in a manner consistent with best UK practice. Partner Vilen Adjivefayev is my main point of contact and he is an excellent all-rounder: pragmatic, commercial and always delivers, no matter what else he is handing or even if on vacation. A joy to work with. His specialty is corporate.’

‘Vilen Adjivefayev is a very experienced and diligent lawyer who really knows how capital market and banking works in Kazakhstan!’

‘The lawyers of Haller Lomax clearly do excel in understanding the local context of the specific transaction at hand and putting it simultaneously into an international perspective so that neither cross-border transactions nor participants from several countries face any difficulties in their arranging and executing. As for innovation, the legal environment in Kazakhstan is still relatively young and thus rapidly developing so that any legal practice requires the latest know-how of the legislation and its application by both courts and legal practitioners. Haller Lomax has mastered this challenge beyond any doubt.’

‘I have been working mostly with Vilen Adjivefayev, a co-founding partner of Haller Lomax LLP, who has been providing legal advice professionally for more than 15 years in Kazakhstan and abroad. His knowledge of both the legal and cultural aspects of the participants in recent transactions on which we cooperated secured their smooth execution and successful closing.’

‘The team consists mostly of senior professionals from leading local legal practices with strong domain expertise. Simply put, our choice was based on the quality people behind the company. It is also a young company that is willing to be flexible and go the extra mile for a client. High quality of service due to smaller size, attention to detail, high level of involvement of partners in cases.’

‘Vilen Adjivefayev is a proactive professional who has both a broad knowledge of legal aspects relevant for the financial industry and hands-on experience necessary for structuring difficult deals. Vilen is someone who can find answers to difficult questions, participate on your behalf in negotiations and not screw them up and structure what is necessary afterwards.’

‘What I like about Haller Lomax is their team. Each partner of the firm has prominent background and expertise and all worked for global law firms. We get quality of work equal to that of top law firms for a much reasonable price. Vilen Adjivefayev completely stands out from the cohort of local lawyers.’

‘Integrites’s banking team integrates broad experience across industries and practices which allows them to capably support complex cross-border transactional projects.’

‘The managing partner Kurmangazy Talzhanov is the key go-to contact in Kazakhstan, especially for banking and finance matters.’
