28.10.2015 Ivan Omarov attorney, criminal law, Kazakhstan, rights of the witness

Does a Witness Need an Attorney During a Police Interview?

The realities of life are such that, regardless of our will, we often became a witness of a wide variety of events, incidents, situations, which are observed in everyday life. Sometimes it’s pleasant events such as the birth of a child, sometimes unpleasant, such as death. The same is true for certain incidents and situations. Today one can be the witness at the wedding, and tomorrow he or she becomes a witness for a criminal case, after the fight, which took place during the same wedding.

I run a software and electronics business in Finland and am looking for opportunities to invest in Kazakhstan’s rapidly growing IT industry. SION & Partners International Law Firm handled my purchase of shares in a Kazakhstani corporation. SION’s attorneys effectively negotiated the deal with my potential business partners in Kazakhstan to assure that my investment is protected and my legal risks are contained. I appreciate their quick turnaround – they prepared the shareholders’ agreement, purchase contract and lots of other documents in a very short time for reasonable fees. In the future, I will retain SION & Partners to handle my further commercial matters in Kazakhstan.
