Our Firm's Practice Overview:
Discussion by Gabitzhan and Nurlan on the Most Extraordinary Tax Authority Claim Worth 395 Million Tenge

Our fees depend on case complexity and are based on time spent providing services at $100 per hour.
 
For example, consultation services often last just 30 minutes, so they may cost only $50. Written consultations, however, require significantly more time, making them considerably more expensive.
 
For cases involving material client issues, such as appealing unlawful assessments, we use a combined payment system. The fixed fee doesn't depend on case outcome and is determined as described above. Success fees are paid only when we achieve positive results and represent a certain percentage of the amount saved or recovered. Exact service costs are determined after a preliminary analysis of your situation.

Our office is located in Astana at the address shown on our website. We provide consultations both in-person and remotely via Zoom and WhatsApp. There are no complications with remote consulting.

You can submit a request through the form on our website or contact us directly using the contact information provided on
the site. We'll offer you either an offline or online meeting.

We don't have branches or representatives in other regions — we're a small firm. However, our business
processes are organized to effectively serve clients throughout Kazakhstan remotely, including participating in court hearings, which have been conducted online since the pandemic.

Lawyers have no moral right to guarantee positive case outcomes for several reasons.

First, the final decision is made by officials or courts whom we cannot influence.

Second, guaranteeing positive results often indicates fraud. Many administrative and business procedures in Kazakhstan are so well-established that human factors are eliminated. Therefore, lawyers' claims about having "connections" are often lies.

Third, guaranteeing results implies bribing decision-makers, which is a crime we neither know how to nor wish to participate in.
 
Our only guarantee is providing services that meet high quality standards, established timelines, and proper procedures.
First, upon client request, we sign non- disclosure agreements (NDAs). By default, confidentiality clauses are included in our standard service contracts.
 

Second, the information clients share with us practically has no significant commercial value, and we don't know how to use it for profit. Moreover, we have no motives to do so.

Third, access to client information is limited to a restricted circle of employees directly working on specific cases.

 
We reserve the right to list client names and logos in our client portfolio for demonstration purposes.

Our profession has many interesting specialists, but due to heavy workloads, we rarely communicate outside of work matters. Lawyers and tax consultants typically don't speak publicly on personal topics, though they remain fascinating personalities. The interview format provides an opportunity to reveal the human side of colleagues, which is quite engaging.
