The opening of the first international-scale shopping mall in Uzbekistan has become a landmark event for the commercial real estate market.

The introduction of global leasing standards, collaboration with international brands, and the establishment of transparent legal mechanisms required a comprehensive approach. PraeLegal Uzbekistan provided full legal support for this process, adapting global practices to local legislation.

Our team actively engaged with foreign consultants to integrate large shopping center management standards into the Uzbek market. We developed effective contractual mechanisms governing leasing and provided consultations to international brands on entering the market, considering legal, tax, and commercial aspects.

Special attention was given to franchising, as several global brands entered Uzbekistan through this model. We created a legal framework ensuring transparent and reliable operating conditions in compliance with international standards.

This project was not just a new milestone for retail but also a foundation for the further development of the commercial real estate market in Uzbekistan. The legal expertise of PraeLegal Uzbekistan, successfully implemented through the coordinated work of Senior Counsel Shakhnoza Kodirova and Associate Diyora Muminova, has established a solid legal foundation, ensuring the long-term stability and transparency of tenant operations.
