Overview
Emirates Legal provides company incorporation services in Astana, Kazakhstan. Astana is the capital of Kazakhstan and home to the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC).

As the First Middle Eastern and South Asian law firm licensed by AIFC, our Astana office brings pioneering expertise to this rapidly developing jurisdiction.
Legal Framework in Astana
Kazakhstan operates under a civil law system nationally, but the AIFC within Astana operates under English common law — creating a dual legal framework similar to the UAE model. Astana Courts handle matters under Kazakh civil law, while the AIFC Courts handle matters within the financial centre's jurisdiction. Emirates Legal, as the first Middle Eastern and South Asian firm licensed by AIFC, provides representation across both systems. Company incorporation in Astana involves licensing and registration with Ministry of Justice (Kazakhstan), AFSA (within AIFC). Emirates Legal guides businesses through the establishment process, advising on the appropriate legal structure, licensing requirements, and ongoing compliance obligations.
