July 2025 – Kinstellar is delighted to announce that Dilshad Khabibullaev has joined our Tashkent office as a Partner. With over two decades of experience in infrastructure, investment, and public-private partnership (PPP) projects—particularly in the transportation sector—Dilshad brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership to our team in Uzbekistan and the broader Central Asia region.
Throughout his notable career, Dilshad has played a key role in pioneering transport infrastructure projects in Uzbekistan, including the country’s first airport PPP, first toll road PPP, and first traffic video surveillance investment project. His expertise spans both the automotive and aviation industries, where he has consistently delivered strategic legal counsel on complex, high-impact projects.
Dilshad’s professional journey includes experience in both the public and private sectors, including roles as an in-house counsel. Prior to joining Kinstellar, he was an equity partner at a prominent regional law firm in Central Asia, leading the Corporate and M&A practice and supporting the dispute resolution team on major judicial and arbitration matters. He is also a published author, contributing thought leadership through books and articles focused on business and investment law in Uzbekistan.
We are delighted to welcome Dilshad to Kinstellar. His outstanding reputation and deep sector knowledge, particularly in infrastructure and transportation, will significantly bolster our Projects & Infrastructure and Corporate/M&A practices across the region.
