Representative Legal Matters

Dispute Resolution — Commercial and Regulatory

Represented a major construction company in two disputes with a contractor related to a major building project in Russia. In the first case the courts of 4 levels including the Supreme Court confirmed our client’s position that arbitration agreements providing for ICC arbitration seated in London were valid and enforceable, and that the English law applied to the arbitration agreements. Therefore, the claim against our client was left without consideration. The second proceedings were within a bankruptcy case of the subcontractor and the subcontractor’s bankruptcy administrator filed for invalidation of arbitration agreements based on grounds in the bankruptcy laws. The court dismissed these claims in full, having established that the arbitration agreements had been entered into without any violations.
