International Commercial and Investment Arbitration
International commercial and investment arbitration, litigation in Russian and foreign courts, and advisory services on sanctions-related matters are central to our practice.
We represent major Russian and international corporations, sovereign entities, state-owned companies, and private investors in intricate arbitration cases. This includes disputes involving large-scale infrastructure, energy, and industrial projects, international contracts and investments, as well as matters complicated by sanctions regulations and parallel proceedings across multiple jurisdictions.
Our team comprises experts qualified in English law, who are solicitors of the High Courts of England and Wales, as well as experts qualified in French law. Our team members possess deep expertise in navigating these legal systems and have a strong track record of representing clients in arbitration and before state courts across multiple foreign jurisdictions, often without the need for local counsel.
Key Areas of Practice:
- Representing clients in international commercial arbitration under the rules of the ICC, LCIA, SIAC, SCC, HKIAC, DIAC, and ICAC, as well as in international investment arbitration (including ICSID and ad hoc proceedings).
- Representing clients in national courts in proceedings for the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards, as well as in related ancillary proceedings.
- Advising on and managing complex international disputes involving parallel proceedings in national courts and international arbitration tribunals, including landmark cases involving injunctions against Russian entities and precedent-setting matters relating to the attachment and enforcement of judgments against assets held in Russia by companies within foreign corporate groups.
