TWO MANAGING PARTNERS

Anton Khan

Partner, Legal

A business lawyer with more than 12 years of experience in corporate law, international business and franchising. He specialises in building the legal framework for franchise networks, protecting brands and providing legal support for business expansion.

Currently Chief Legal Officer at Invictus Group, where he built the legal function from the ground up and established the legal framework for its franchise network, supporting its growth in Kazakhstan and expansion into international markets.

His practical experience covers the full franchise lifecycle: from developing the contractual model, network standards and intellectual property protection to supporting location openings and marketing activities, monitoring franchisee obligations and resolving disputes.

He previously worked at Decathlon and BI Group, and also supported the launch of an international office in Malaysia and cross-border projects.

His approach is to create legally protected and commercially effective franchise models that enable businesses to grow sustainably and expand into new markets.

Nikita Kelch

Partner, Commercial & Operations

An entrepreneur and executive with 7 years of business experience. He specialises in optimising business processes, developing sales and marketing, organising teams and building business management systems.

Currently CEO of Khan & Kelch Company, responsible for company operations, internal organisation and the development of commercial processes. Within the franchising practice, he brings sales, marketing and management together into the system needed to launch and develop a network.

He has practical experience in building and developing the INTEGRUM service business: from shaping its offering and pricing to establishing sales processes, implementing CRM and quality standards, and handing day-to-day operations over to the team. He uses automation and artificial intelligence in research, marketing, analytics and recurring tasks.

He previously worked at Sberbank and at Omsky Kauchuk, a petrochemical company within the Titan Group.

His approach is to create clear, manageable business systems in which processes, team responsibilities and performance indicators help owners retain control, reduce the business’s dependence on their daily involvement and prepare the company to scale.

Both partners help design the project, discuss key decisions, coordinate delivery and work directly with the business owner.
