Legal Support for Investment Projects

ONELAW advises on investment projects in Uzbekistan at the structuring, launch, implementation and investor-protection stages.

An investment project requires integrated legal analysis of the participation structure, allocation of risks, land and property matters, permits, tax conditions, agreements with partners and interaction with public authorities.

Scope of Services

ONELAW provides support at all key stages:

— analysis of the business model and legal structure of the project;
— determination of the legal status of participants;
— assessment of the corporate and contractual participation model;
— drafting investment agreements and project contracts;
— analysis of land, property and construction matters;
— review of permits, licences and special requirements;
— assessment of tax, customs and regulatory conditions;
— support in negotiations with partners, counterparties and public authorities;
— preparation of financing and revenue-allocation documents;

When ONELAW Can Assist

Structuring an investment project

Legal assessment of the project model, participants, sources of financing and allocation of rights, obligations and control.

Investment agreements

Drafting, review and negotiation of investment agreements, partnership arrangements and other project documents.

Land, real estate and infrastructure

Support on land plots, real estate, construction, infrastructure connection and use of project assets.

Benefits, permits and regulatory requirements

Review of applicable incentives, permits, licences, special requirements and interaction with public authorities.

Investor protection during implementation

Legal support where project terms change, partners breach obligations, public authorities act adversely or conflicts arise.

ONELAW Approach

An investment project cannot be treated as an ordinary transaction. Corporate, contractual, land, tax, construction and regulatory issues arise simultaneously.

ONELAW assesses the project as a single legal and commercial structure, including control over assets, allocation of risks, obligations of each party and investor-protection mechanisms.

Our objective is to structure the project so that the client’s investment remains protected throughout implementation, not only when the documents are signed.

What Should Be Addressed in Advance

Before entering an investment project, the parties should determine ownership: — of the asset or project, the investor’s rights;
— evidence of investment;
— allocation of income and expenses;
— responsibility for permits and construction;
— guarantees and security;
— exit mechanisms;
— consequences of breach and the dispute-resolution mechanism.

If these matters are not addressed in advance, an investor may be unable to recover funds, obtain control over the asset or prove the extent of its rights.
