🌍 The globalization and transnationalization of commercial law have been central themes in legal scholarship for over five decades, reflecting the increasing interconnectedness of global economies and the need for harmonized legal frameworks to govern commercial activities. Within this broader context, the new lex mercatoria—a body of transnational commercial law derived from non-State sources such as trade customs, arbitral decisions, and model laws—has emerged as a significant area of study.

🔶 Партнер GRATA International Ержан Есимханов в интервью Forbes Казахстан поделился своим взглядом на то, как искусственный интеллект меняет рынок юридических услуг и почему Казахстану пока рано кодифицировать цифровое право.
По словам эксперта, первыми под риском окажутся профессии, основанные на рутинной и стандартизированной обработке документов.
«Исчезнут специальности, в которых не нужно вникать в суть. Например, нотариат. Уже сейчас через банковские приложения можно оформить покупку квартиры или автомобиля — то, ради чего раньше нужно было идти к нотариусу», — отмечает он.
Ержан Есимханов также рассказал о перспективах цифрового законодательства и пояснил, почему гибкость регулирования сегодня важнее создания отдельного Цифрового кодекса.
