At a ceremony hosted as part of the of the prestigious Astana Finance Days, the recently formed Legal Services Board of the AIFC recognised Mr Beer among the first cadre of lawyers who had met its international standards for registration. 

Mr Beer said ‘It’s an honour to join the first batch of leading lawyers accepted by the AIFC’s Legal Services Board for registration in the AIFC. The register is a benchmark of quality for lawyers operating in Central Asia, and requires lawyers to comply with world-class regulations and rules. I encourage all lawyers  with an interest and involvement in the AIFC and Kazakhstan to sign up to the scheme.’

With excellence as a cornerstone of Seven Pillars’ mission, this achievement further demonstrates our commitment to the very highest legal standards.

The AIFC’s Legal Services Board was established in May and is the designated body for the registration and regulation of legal advisers and the legal services market in the AIFC. It has established regulations and rules modelled on leading jurisdictions and established a register for those lawyers that are eligible .
