Legal guidance across the matters that shape business in Turkmenistan.

We audit, adapt and structure distribution, franchise, dealership and agency agreements under Turkmenistan law, and assist with local-partner compliance. We also prepare and review confidentiality arrangements, including enforceable definitions of confidential information, trade secrets and contractual remedies.

For technology and investment arrangements, we review SaaS and cloud-service terms against local telecommunications, data-protection and cybersecurity requirements, including intellectual-property, data-transfer and service-level issues. We also structure joint ventures and shareholder arrangements to address governance, voting, management and dilution risks.

Our work on service, consultancy, international sale and purchase contracts covers regulatory compliance, performance obligations, customs, import and export rules, tax, currency controls and Incoterms. The focus is a contract structure that remains workable throughout execution.

We advise on international loan and project-finance documents under Turkmenistan banking and currency rules, international carriage across road, rail, air and sea, and EPC contracts, including the local-law adaptation of FIDIC-based terms and oversight of subcontractor compliance.

We support the formation and registration of branches, representative offices and local legal entities, including re-registration, notarisation and legalisation of documents, and procedures before the Ministry of Finance and Economy. We also advise on capital changes, foreign-capital registration and lawful profit repatriation.

For day-to-day governance and market exit, we prepare corporate resolutions, powers of attorney, signature documents and formal correspondence, and manage liquidation steps with tax, customs, social-security and other competent authorities.

Our corporate advice also covers foreign-investment protections, regulatory registrations and permits, executive employment documents, internal labour rules, work permits, corporate labour audits and dispute-risk mitigation.

We align group policies, internal rules and operational standards with Turkmenistan corporate, tax, customs, competition and currency-control requirements. Third-party reviews may cover legal standing, licences, ownership structure and relevant anti-bribery and anti-money-laundering controls.

Transaction due diligence covers corporate history, title to shares, permits, material contracts, liabilities and actual or potential disputes, enabling investors to understand identified legal risks before an acquisition, joint venture or partnership.

We represent companies and investors in commercial disputes concerning contracts, shareholders, partnerships, joint ventures, supply chains and corporate governance. Cross-border work includes applications to recognise and enforce foreign judgments and arbitral awards under applicable procedure and treaties.

Before proceedings, we assess legal and tactical options, prepare formal notices and support settlement, mediation and other alternative dispute-resolution processes where they offer a practical route.

We structure privacy notices, cookie notices, consent mechanisms and online terms for websites, e-commerce and SaaS services. Advice covers local data-residency requirements, cloud infrastructure reviews and protocols for lawful cross-border transfers.

For internal governance, we draft data-protection and confidentiality policies, employee-data rules and related controls, and conduct data-mapping and risk assessments in preparation for regulatory review.

We review consumer contracts, return procedures, local labelling and warranty requirements for retail, e-commerce, electronics and automotive businesses. We also advise on product-liability claims, product-recall procedures and related regulatory risk.

We structure and review cross-border loans, project-finance and sovereign-backed lending documents, together with mortgages, pledges and guarantees. Advice also addresses currency controls, capital repatriation limits and regulatory compliance involving the Central Bank of Turkmenistan.

We advise on international sale-of-goods contracts, distribution and franchise networks, multimodal logistics arrangements, customs clearance, tariff classifications, import and export licences, and applicable trade-sanctions compliance.

We prepare employment contracts, internal labour rules, confidentiality arrangements and executive severance packages. We also advise on foreign-workforce quotas, expatriate work permits, mobility compliance, employer-side disputes and regulatory audits.

We manage licence and permit procedures before line ministries and state bodies, including specialised commercial licences, environmental permits, industrial-safety certificates and construction clearances. The work includes application dossiers, compliance checks and regulatory coordination.

We advise on corporate income tax, VAT, withholding taxes, customs duties and double-taxation agreements. Work may also cover lawful investment incentives, tax-efficient cross-border structures, state tax audits and fiscal disputes before competent economic courts.

We advise international logistics companies, carrier networks and maritime operators on transportation, shipping and port regulation in Turkmenistan, including transport and freight-forwarding contracts aligned with relevant conventions such as CMR and COTIF.
