Asia

Central Asia occupies an important intersection between many of the forces shaping the world today. With strong geographical and economic ties to both Russia and China (in particular through its recent exposure to the Belt and Road Initiative), and substantial deposits of strategically important natural resources such as rare earths and hydrocarbons, the region will continue to grow in political significance. Against this backdrop, this session will consider what features can be drawn from disputes that have occurred in Central Asia to date, as well as the trends we are likely to see in disputes going forward. Panellists will comprise practitioners and experts with first-hand knowledge of the region’s unique dynamics, providing an insight into doing business there and resolving disputes involving parties or enterprises coming from it.

Panellists will include:

  • Bahar Charyyeva (Squire Patton Boggs) - moderator
  • Nazli Ahmadova (Apex Advisors and Chairperson of the Business Law Committee, Bar Association of Azerbaijan)
  • Zhazgul Altynbekova (International Court of Arbitration in Affiliation with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Kyrgyzstan)
  • Dr Bagdat Kuzhatov  (PSA, Kazakhstan)
  • Kate Mallinson (Chatham House and PRISM Political Risk Management)
