With successful establishment within the energy and natural resources, dispute resolution, infrastructure and PPP areas, we are willing to expand our practice more and find new areas to develop. Kazakhstan has been a questionable territory for cryptominers since 2020: a mix of cheap electricity and allegiance of lawmakers attracts big players from Western countries. Also, the IT sector is booming and our expertise helps clients engaged in web development and programming to reach their targets. We are looking into the CyberSecurity direction now and have a range of initiatives and services to be introduced in the following months.
