The Services Practice
Eight integrated service lines, delivered as one practice. Each engagement is led by a partner and supported by a team that lives the market it serves.
Market entry and growth strategy for international firms, regional corporates and family offices considering Afghan exposure. Bespoke research, scenario modelling and quarterly briefings.
Company formation, licensing, contract drafting and ongoing corporate secretarial work — delivered in coordination with vetted Afghan and regional legal counsel.
End-to-end trade execution: customs clearance, freight forwarding, bonded warehousing and last-mile delivery across Afghanistan and into the wider region.
Integrated project oversight for infrastructure, real estate and industrial mandates — from feasibility through commissioning and operational handover.
Sanctions screening, KYC, AML and operational risk frameworks calibrated to the realities of operating in frontier markets without compromising on international standards.
Considered, transparent representation before ministries, municipalities and regulatory bodies — built on long-standing relationships and an unambiguous record of conduct.
Capital structuring for trade finance, working capital, project finance and acquisition mandates — including syndication with regional banks and family offices.
Strategic sourcing of construction materials, machinery, agricultural inputs and consumer goods — leveraging direct supplier relationships across the Gulf, Türkiye and South Asia.
The Engagement
Each mandate moves through four ordered phases. We do not skip them, accelerate them, or vary them at the request of any counterparty — including ourselves.
01
An initial conversation, no obligation. We learn the intention before we discuss the instrument.
02
A confidential briefing memo: feasibility, structure, risk, indicative terms — delivered in writing.
03
A formal letter of engagement defines scope, deliverables, timeline and remuneration. Nothing implicit.
04
Partner-led execution with regular written reporting and a final handover dossier.
