As the first international firm licensed in Kazakhstan, White & Case has extensive knowledge of the Kazakh market and is frequently seen on high profile transactions. In the last year, the firm lured Macleod Dixon’s former managing partner Maxim Telemtayev to serve as its Almaty office head. Telemtayev replaced former managing partner Yuiry Maltsev, who unexpectedly passed away in May 2010.
In a complex transaction, partners Marat Ibragimov and Michael Rayson led a firm team on the restructuring of US$16.65 billion of BTA Bank’s debt. The transaction involved a diverse group of creditors, including Eurobond holders, distressed debt hedge funds and government-backed lending bodies. This necessitated legal expertise across Kazakhstan, Russia, the US and the UK.
The firm also advised joint lead managers Credit Suisse, RBS and UBS in connection with KazMunaiGaz Finance’s US$1.25 billion global medium term note programme.
