Our London office, operated by Bracewell & Giuliani (UK) LLP, is located in the centre of the world's financial and capital markets.  It works closely with other Bracewell offices, particularly those in New York, Dubai and Houston, to provide English, US and local law services to international clients.  The London office's primary focus is on international capital markets, banking, securitizations, structured finance and mergers and acquisitions work, particularly in the Middle East and emerging markets including Kazakhstan, other countries of the former Soviet Union and the Ukraine.

Bracewell played an early, leading role in helping Kazakhstan create and expand its banking infrastructure, securities markets and commercial legal and court systems.  Because of our long presence there, we understand the region's cultural, business and legal realities.  Since 2000, we have advised on approximately 95% of all Eurobond issues by Kazakhstan issuers, representing more than thirty issuers, including eight debut bond offerings and offerings by leading financial institutions in the region.  We have used our Kazakhstan experience to expand into other emerging markets in the region.

We have used our global experience to help clients from around the world capture significant opportunities in the Caspian region and other emerging markets, through M&A transactions and other arrangements.
