Kazakh Legal and Business Translation for Property, Transit, Energy, Wine Exports and Companies Between Georgia and Kazakhstan

Property: sale contracts, developer agreements and the Public Registry

Kazakh buyers are among the largest foreign groups in Georgia's property market, and their transactions generate a document set we handle constantly: reservation and preliminary agreements with Batumi and Tbilisi developers, sale and purchase contracts, construction-stage installment agreements, the Public Registry extract and cadastral data, management and rental agreements for investment apartments, and the powers of attorney by which buyers in Kazakhstan authorize a representative to sign. We translate developers' contracts into Russian so the buyer understands what they sign - including the clauses on completion dates, penalties and common areas that cause disputes - draft bilingual Georgian-Russian contracts for direct sales with an interpreter at the notary, and translate the Public Registry extract for the buyer's records and for Kazakh tax and currency declarations. Sales, gifts and inheritance of Georgian property by Kazakh owners, and disputes with developers, are handled by the same legal team.

Registering a Georgian company with Kazakh founders, and a Kazakh one with Georgian founders

A Kazakh TOO or AO founding a Georgian subsidiary, branch or representative office - for logistics, trade, tourism, IT or investment - submits a Georgian translation of its certificate of state registration and eGov extract from the business register (with the BIN), its charter, the decision of the participants approving the Georgian entity and a power of attorney if a local representative files; the extract and notarial documents are apostilled by the Ministry of Justice, and all are notarized in Tbilisi. Individual Kazakh founders submit a translated passport. We draft the Georgian charter bilingually with a parallel Russian or Kazakh column so the founder signs a text they can read, and we know the wording the National Agency of Public Registry expects. Georgian founders of a Kazakh TOO go the other way: the Georgian Public Registry extract, charter and founder's decision are apostilled, translated into Russian or Kazakh, notarized and, where the Kazakh registration authority or notary asks, re-notarized in Kazakhstan; registration is done through eGov, usually within a day.

Transit, port, railway and energy agreements

The Middle Corridor and Kazakhstan's energy interests in Georgia produce a distinct body of contracts: transit and tariff agreements between the Kazakh and Georgian railways and port operators, freight forwarding and multimodal transport contracts, ferry and terminal handling agreements, oil transshipment and storage agreements at the Batumi terminal, pipeline and product transport contracts, grain and metals supply contracts with Black Sea delivery, and the shareholder, management and financing documents of the Kazakh-owned Georgian terminal and logistics companies. We translate these between Russian, Kazakh, Georgian and English with lawyers and engineers working together, keeping defined terms, Incoterms, tariff schedules, technical annexes and regulatory references consistent, with the vocabulary of the CIM/SMGS rail regimes and the Caspian ferry operators rendered as the corridor's practitioners use it, and we maintain glossaries across multi-year agreements.

Wine, food and consumer goods exports to Kazakhstan, and the EAEU

Kazakhstan is one of the largest markets for Georgian wine, mineral water, Borjomi, hazelnuts and food products, and Kazakhstan's membership of the Eurasian Economic Union means that Georgian exporters meet EAEU technical regulations, labeling rules (which require Kazakh and Russian on labels), certificates and declarations of conformity issued by accredited bodies, and customs procedures shared across the union. We translate supply and distribution agreements with Kazakh importers and retail chains, product specifications, labels and back-label texts in Kazakh and Russian, certificates and declarations of conformity, phytosanitary and veterinary certificates, certificates of origin, commercial invoices and packing lists, and correspondence with Kazakh customs, with translators who know both customs systems and EAEU terminology. Kazakh exporters of grain, oil products, metals and consumer goods to Georgia use the same team for the reverse set.

Court judgments, arbitration, employment and enforcement

Kazakh court judgments in family, commercial and succession matters are recognized and enforced in Georgia through proceedings requiring notarized Georgian translations of the judgment, proof of its entry into force and supporting documents, all apostilled; Georgian judgments go the other way for recognition by Kazakh courts, translated into Russian or Kazakh and apostilled, with a Georgian lawyer and Kazakh counsel assessing the route in the absence of a bilateral treaty. Arbitration under the Astana International Financial Centre's International Arbitration Centre, the Kazakhstan International Arbitration, the ICC or the Georgian International Arbitration Centre produces submissions, witness statements, expert reports and awards which we translate under procedural deadlines; contracts in the corridor and energy sectors commonly specify one of these. Employment contracts for Georgian specialists in Kazakhstan and Kazakh staff in Georgia, and the work permit files that accompany them, are drafted or translated bilingually. Succession files concerning Georgian property owned by Kazakh citizens are frequent and are handled by the same team. Litigation files are handled under NDA with restricted access.

Tenders, financial statements, confidentiality and how projects run

Georgian construction, engineering, IT and consulting companies pursue tenders with Kazakh state bodies, national companies and the Samruk-Kazyna group through Kazakhstan's electronic procurement portals, where documentation is in Russian and Kazakh and foreign documents must be apostilled with notarized translations; Kazakh companies bid on Georgian state tenders in energy, transport and construction. We translate tender documentation, bids, qualification documents and financial statements within days of the notice, staffed as a team. Georgian subsidiaries of Kazakh groups and Kazakh subsidiaries of Georgian ones report under IFRS to head office, banks and tax authorities on both sides; we translate financial statements, audit reports, tax residency certificates for treaty relief under the Georgia-Kazakhstan double taxation agreement, VAT documents and bank confirmation letters, with accountants on the team reconciling every figure.

Every translator, editor and courier is bound by a non-disclosure agreement, files are encrypted and access is limited to the assigned team; we sign client-specific NDAs and data processing terms aligned with Kazakhstan's personal data law. Corporate clients receive a glossary and translation memory from the first project. Projects run in a fixed pattern: fixed quote within the hour, a legal or financial specialist plus a reviewer, questions returned in a single batch, delivery in the original format, and notarization and apostille scheduled in parallel with translation. Framework agreements with monthly invoicing and priority notary slots are available for developers and real estate agencies serving Kazakh buyers, logistics and energy companies, exporters and law firms serving Kazakh clients.
