From 2005 through 2009, Bracewell's Caspian Sea practice has been recognized for maintaining a "strong niche advising on Eurobond issues" in Euromoney's International Financial Law Review 1000: The Guide to the World's Leading Financial Law Firms. In 2007, the publication described Bracewell’s Kazakhstan practice as follows:

“Bracewell & Giuliani’s Kazakh operation continues to be extremely active in the capital markets, in a country which is growing in terms of capital markets and financing transactions. Clients consider it ‘a firm that always aims to build lasting relationships,’ and recommend leading lawyer Greg Vojack for his ‘charming personality, trustworthiness, reliability and experience.’

“Recent debt capital markets deals saw the firm advise Bank TuranAlem on its $2 billion medium-term note programme arranged by Credit Suisse, a hybrid Tier I capital share preference with Credit Suisse First Boston and ING worth $400 million, and a Rule 144A tranche from Credit Suisse and ING valued at $300 million.

“Elsewhere, the firm advised Bank Center Credit on a $250 million Regulation S bond issue and $100 million issue of hybrid Tier I capital (both arranged by Citibank), and acted on bond issue by, among others, Astana Finance, ATF Bank, the Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan and the JSC Temit Zholly National Railway Company.”
