On 15th August 2024, Eldwick Law hosted a delegation from the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

The delegation included Deputy Minister of Justice, Sherzad Mirjalovich Rabiev, Prof. Dr. Islambek Rustambekov (Acting Rector Professor of Tashkent State University of Law), Professor Azamat Ergashev, and Professor Maged Mamdouh Kamel Shebaita. Also pictured is Dr Jamsheed Peeroo of 36 Stone.

Waleed Tahirkheli opened the session, followed by a short presentation and discussion delivered by Jenna Krüger on potential areas of mutual interest and cooperation between Eldwick Law and the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan, including:

- Investigations & Asset Tracing
- International Arbitration
- Sanctions

In September 2023, Waleed Tahirkheli and Rashid Gaissin travelled to Tashkent for English Law Week, returning in November 2023 to deliver a series of seminars – together with Dr Jamsheed Peeroo – on arbitration and the impact of sanctions on arbitration.
