Recently, a delegation led by Wang Chuanchuan, Partner and Director of Guangdong Jinqiao Baixin Law Firm, and Yan Wei, Co-founder of Landi Central Asia Law Firm, visited FOTIMA Law Firm, a joint venture with NARXOZ University in Kazakhstan, for exchanges and discussions. FOTIMA GROUP's Central Asia Market Manager and Rustam, a local Central Asian lawyer, also participated in the meeting. Leveraging the legal clinic jointly established by FOTIMA GROUP and NARXOZ University, the parties engaged in in-depth exchanges on topics such as Central Asian country-specific legal studies, international commercial dispute resolution, and joint training of international legal talent.
NARXOZ University is a renowned comprehensive university in Kazakhstan, known for its humanities programs. Its law school consistently ranks among the top three in the country, possessing a strong academic foundation in Central Asian civil and commercial law and cross-border trade rules. The exchange team visited the campus, met with law school leaders and Professor Rustam's team, and exchanged views on multi-dimensional cooperation plans.
FOTIMA GROUP is an international company rooted in the Central Asian market. With years of localized operational experience, it possesses deep knowledge of the investment environment, industrial policies, and business rules of Central Asian countries, and has the solid capability to provide comprehensive cross-border business services to companies expanding overseas. The group focuses on the oil and gas and industrial support sectors, while continuously developing supporting services such as cross-border compliance and commercial risk control. Leveraging its firsthand experience as a multinational corporation investing and operating in Central Asia, FOTIMA GROUP has established a legal clinic in partnership with NARXOZ University, bridging university legal research resources with real-world international business practices, and translating academic research findings into practical applications for Chinese companies going global. We provide on-the-ground services such as legal risk assessment, cross-border commercial dispute resolution, and overseas compliance system establishment.
At the exchange meeting, all parties agreed that with a large number of Chinese enterprises investing, trading, and undertaking projects in Central Asia, the market demand for localized and comprehensive foreign-related legal services continues to grow. Guangdong Jinqiao Baixin Law Firm possesses strong domestic commercial legal service capabilities, while Landi Central Asia Law Firm is familiar with local judicial practices in Central Asia. Combined with FOTIMA GROUP's extensive experience in multinational corporate operations and its advantages as a legal clinic research platform in Central Asia, the parties will form a powerful alliance. In the future, they will jointly promote research on country-specific legal topics, jointly train foreign-related legal professionals, and establish a service channel covering cross-border commercial dispute resolution between China and Central Asia. This will provide compliant, efficient, and comprehensive foreign-related legal and corporate support services for Chinese enterprises investing in Central Asia under the "Belt and Road" framework.
All parties hope that this visit and exchange will serve as a new starting point to further deepen the collaboration between leading domestic law firms, local Central Asian law firms, and multinational corporations, leveraging their respective resource advantages. Building upon FOTIMA GROUP's strong industrial foundation in Central Asia and the practical capabilities of local law firms, combined with Jinqiao Baixin's extensive experience in domestic commercial legal services and Landi Central Asia's regional practical experience, all parties will work together to break down the barriers between domestic legal service needs and local implementation in Central Asia. In the future, all parties will continue to conduct topic discussions, share practical cases, and exchange legal talent, jointly building a stable and reliable cross-border commercial service link to safeguard the steady development of more Chinese enterprises in Central Asia and contribute to the steady and long-term progress of the Belt and Road Initiative's economic and trade relations.
