About us
Sed Lex was founded by three lawyers with decades of experience inside major Kazakhstani businesses — from FMCG and construction to energy and international law firms.
Years of in-house work showed them the legal problems of business from the inside: deals, construction projects, disputes, inspections, negotiations with partners and government bodies. In 2020 they combined that experience into a practice of their own — helping both large corporations and small and medium businesses handle everyday legal matters.
Since then, the team has handled hundreds of copyright matters, protecting writers, musicians, designers and media professionals across Kazakhstan.
