About Baker Tilly’s Legal Practice in Kyrgyzstan
Our team combines in-depth knowledge of the legislation of the Kyrgyz Republic with practical expertise built up over years of supporting investment projects and major transactions. We advise clients on establishing and running a business in Kyrgyzstan: selecting the optimal structure, tax planning, obtaining licenses and permits, building corporate governance, and preparing the contractual framework.
Kyrgyzstan’s regulatory environment is evolving rapidly. This opens up new opportunities for investors but calls for a careful approach to legal and tax matters. We help clients navigate these processes and make well-informed decisions.
Our team has extensive experience of working with the state authorities of the Kyrgyz Republic – the Cabinet of Ministers, the Ministry of Economy and Commerce, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Health, the National Investment Agency, the State Tax Service, the Public-Private Partnership Center, and other agencies. We support the approval of investment projects, the obtaining of licenses and permits, the registration of land rights, and the structuring of project implementation models, including projects involving the state and foreign financing.
We focus on practical solutions that work in practice. Understanding not only the formal rules but also how they are actually applied in Kyrgyzstan is our key advantage.
