Built Inside Uzbekistan's Biggest Fintech.
Now Building Yours.

Our founders didn't learn fintech and banking law from textbooks — they built it from the inside. With 5+ years at one of Central Asia's only unicorns and Big Four (PwC) backgrounds, we've personally structured products used by 18 million people, led multi-million dollar bond issuances, and advised on deals exceeding $80 million.

Now we bring that same speed, precision, and depth to clients who refuse to settle for slow, expensive, or generic legal advice.

Built for Speed.

We come from a unicorn where "next week" meant "too late." Every engagement is optimized for fast turnaround and clear, actionable deliverables.

🎯
We Go Further.

We don't stop at "legally compliant." We think about your business model, your risks, your regulators, and your growth. We go the extra mile — because that's where value lives.

Let's Talk About Your Project

Whether it's a $5 million cross-border deal or a compliance gap you need closed by Friday — we're ready.

Our Story

Why We Built This

After years building the legal infrastructure of one of Central Asia's two unicorns — structuring products for 18 million users, leading bond issuances, securing licenses, and advising on deals worth tens of millions — we realized that most businesses in the region simply don't have access to this level of legal thinking.

Large firms are slow and expensive. Small firms lack depth. We built Juris Advisory to be the answer: top-tier legal and regulatory advisory that's fast, commercially minded, and priced for businesses that need real value — not hourly billing for the sake of it.

Our founding team combines hands-on unicorn experience with Big Four (PwC) rigor. We know what regulators expect. We know what investors look for. And we know how to build things that actually work — legally, commercially, and operationally.

Our Mission

Why We Exist

JA

"Businesses in Central Asia deserve access to the same quality of legal thinking that powers unicorns — without the price tag, the waiting, or the runaround."

That's the belief we built this firm on. And it's the standard we hold ourselves to in every engagement.

🏗️
Close the Gap

Between the legal quality available to multinationals and what local businesses can actually access. We're narrowing that gap — engagement by engagement.

Redefine What "Fast" Means

Legal advice that arrives after the window closes isn't advice — it's history. We exist to make sure the law works at the pace of business, not against it.

🎯
Be Commercially Honest

We tell you what we actually think — not what's safest to say. Good legal advice sometimes means telling a client not to do something. We're here to protect your interests, not protect our billing hours.

Central Asia is at an inflection point.

Uzbekistan's economy is opening, its fintech sector is growing faster than its regulatory frameworks can keep up, and foreign capital is arriving with legal complexity that local firms aren't equipped to handle. We built Juris Advisory precisely for this moment — and this market.
