Dr. Stanislav Buyanskiy, the then Dean of Narxoz Law and Public Policy and now Acting-Rector of the Narxoz University, was the main pioneer of the Narxoz Law conference series. He envisioned creating an international forum for legal and business practitioners and academicians to come together to deliberate the contemporary trends in transnational business laws in a quest to create better transparency, productivity and awareness between countries.
This year’s conference panels were graced by experts from Kazakhstan, Russia, the U.S.A., the United Kingdom, Lithuania, Ukraine, and the Philippines.
