Legal Framework in Astana

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. ESG and climate compliance requirements in Astana are evolving as regulatory frameworks develop. Emirates Legal advises on sustainability reporting obligations, green finance regulation, and environmental compliance within the jurisdiction of Ministry of Justice (Kazakhstan), AFSA (within AIFC).
