Author(s): Alimov Olzhas Tolegenuly, Moroz Svetlana Pavlovna, Akimbekova Meruert Aminovna

Digital transformation is having a significant impact on all branches of law, including contract law. This article is devoted to the analysis of the impact of digital technologies on contract law in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The paper uses a methodology that combines a comprehensive review of academic literature, analysis of legislation, and judicial practice. The study covers aspects such as online contract formation, the use of electronic signatures, automated contract drafting, the application of smart contracts and blockchain technology, online dispute resolution, and electronic document management in the contractual sphere. This leads to a lack of clarity in understanding the specifics of such relationships and difficulties in law enforcement practice. The study emphasizes the need to adapt contract law to the new realities of the digital age and to develop a comprehensive approach to regulating relations arising from the use of digital technologies in the conclusion, performance, and enforcement of contracts. The conclusion notes that for the full integration of technological achievements into the legal field, further improvement of legislation and law enforcement practice in this area is required.
