Yеgeubayev & Partners, a law firm, successfully represented a small business in arbitral proceedings against one of the largest operators in the oil industry, securing an award of over KZT 130 million in favour of its client.
In legal practice, disputes between unequal parties are far from uncommon. Typically, such disputes pit a major market player — firmly established and backed by vast resources — against a small company for whom the stakes are high. Such cases often evoke the timeless imagery of heroes confronting titans in ancient Greek tradition. Yet, as practice shows, the decisive factor is not the scale of the parties, but the quality of legal work.
Our strategy was built on a meticulous analysis of the contract, precise handling of evidence, and a carefully calibrated procedural position at every stage of the arbitration.
The proceedings culminated in an award in favour of our client, a small business represented by Yegeubayev & Partners, prevailing over an oil industry giant.
