International commercial arbitration has been a recognized and effective mechanism for international dispute resolution for more than half a century. Foreign trade contract parties choose the arbitration tribunals' jurisdiction for a number of reasons, and most important among them are the need to remove the dispute from the competence of the national court for one of the parties, as well as to ensure impartial consideration of the case by highly professional arbitrators and to recognize and enforce the resulting decision in as many jurisdictions as possible.
The team provides full legal support for disputes in international commercial arbitration, including drafting a valid and enforceable arbitration clause, assessing the legal risks and prospects of arbitration proceedings, representing interests in arbitration, and enforcing the award of the arbitral tribunal.
The team has unique experience in advising and defending clients' interests in recognized foreign arbitration institutions, such as SCC, ICC, CAM, CIETAC, LCIA, HKIAC, DIAC, as well as in the leading national permanent arbitration institutions - ICAC at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, Russian Arbitration Center. In addition, lawyers of the Firm are competent in ad hoc arbitration under UNCITRAL rules.

Domestic arbitration between Russian counterparties in permanent arbitration institutions have been gaining popularity among Russian companies since the 2015 arbitration reform. Most domestic arbitration cases are examined by three arbitration institutions: the ICAC at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, the Arbitration Center at the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, and the Russian Arbitration Center.
Our lawyers have extensive experience in representing clients in all three arbitration institutes. Moreover, the arbitration institutes appoint lawyers of the Firm as arbitrators, which allows them to implement the best arbitration practices and offer the most comprehensive solutions to their clients.

Investment arbitration stands apart from other methods of dispute resolution due to the specific nature of the respondent: a sovereign state acting as an investment host. Arbitration proceedings between a foreign investor and a state in connection with the expropriation of investments are rare, complex and require a high level of professionalism from legal representatives.
The Firm advises its clients on investments abroad and has experience in representing them in ad hoc investment arbitrations under UNCITRAL rules.
