Chambers and Partners Continues Band 1 Rankings of Kakar Advocates and its Key Attorneys:

This past year has been one of great difficulty and major change for Afghanistan as its economy, which has always been fragile, has turned sharply downward forcing millions of Afghans out of work and more than half of the population facing life-threatening levels of food insecurity.

Kakar Advocates has been working continuously in Afghanistan since 2013, and we are committed to assisting the population and the country as they strive to revive the economy. Over the past year, we have focused our efforts on facilitating the flow of critical humanitarian assistance by enabling international and national aid organizations to obtain or renew business licenses, hire staff, manage tax affairs, lease property, transfer resources, and deliver assistance to the needy.

We have also been assisting the private sector to operate in the new challenging environment. We have conducted a thorough assessment of the private sector identifying major gaps and areas of interventions, and have advised clients in the telecommunications, banking, energy, and other sectors. Our experts are constantly monitoring changes in the laws, regulations, and procedures to ensure that we and our clients are aware of new developments in real time.

We are grateful to our clients and partners for their continued recognition of our efforts as highlighted by this year’s Band 1 rankings of the firm and its key attorneys.
