How the Chicago Office Serves US Clients
US investors entering Kazakhstan & Uzbekistan
US companies and investment funds considering Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan as an investment destination work with Bond Stone's Chicago office for initial scoping — understanding the investment framework, available structures (including AIFC vehicles), and regulatory requirements — before engaging Bond Stone's Almaty or Tashkent offices for execution. Bond Stone advises US investors on market entry structuring, M&A, foreign investment vehicles, AIFC entity formation, and dispute resolution preparedness.
Co-counsel for US law firms
Bond Stone serves as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and AIFC local counsel for US law firms advising their clients on Central Asia transactions. The Chicago office facilitates the co-counsel relationship — providing US firms with a US-based point of contact for matter coordination, document review, and client-facing support.
Central Asian companies entering the US market
Kazakhstani and Uzbek companies seeking to establish a US presence, access US capital markets, or engage US investors work with Bond Stone's Chicago office for US market entry advice. US law matters are handled with qualified US counsel, and Bond Stone coordinates the cross-border legal work.
Scope of practice — Chicago office
Bond Stone's Chicago office advises on Kazakhstan law, Uzbekistan law, AIFC/English common law and US market entry. For US law aspects of cross-border transactions, Bond Stone works with qualified US counsel and coordinates the overall transaction structure across both teams.
