Dear Colleague,

Russia and CIS related arbitration and litigation cases – known to be highly notorious not only for the vast sizes of claims but also for their complexity - continue to feature heavily in Western courts and international arbitral tribunals. The rapidly changing political and regulatory landscape coupled with perennial difficulties with recognition and enforcement call for a thorough knowledge of rules and procedures of various jurisdictions. Parties seeking legal safeguards for their cross-border projects and trades must understand the latest tools and remedies which won’t only deliver victory but also achieve this with the greatest efficiency.

Join C5’s 6th Annual Conference on “International Dispute Resolution involving Russian and CIS Parties” and benefit from thought leadership and unparalleled networking and benchmarking opportunities. Whilst discussing the latest ground-breaking, region-specific arbitration and court cases, the world’s most renowned litigators, arbitrators and investigators will be on hand to share their unique methods and techniques helping you to achieve success in highly contentious multi-party/ multi-jurisdictions/multi-contract cases involving a Russian and CIS element.

“What I found most useful from the program is the multi-jurisdictional/multi-cultural perspective to disputes. Diversity of perspectives is invaluable. We had practitioners from the U.K., the U.S., France, and Switzerland. Panels also had Russia represented, the BVI, and other jurisdictions as well” - Past attendee

13.30 – 16.30

About the Moot:This highly practical and interactive Arbitration Moot has been designed to be of particular relevance to legal practitioners involved in Russian and CIS disputes. A case study of a London-seated arbitration will be distributed in advance to participants, including summaries of written submissions and witness statements. The Moot has two Facilitators and a Sole Arbitrator

Moot Structure:At the beginning of the session participants will be divided into two teams:

▶ One acting for the claimant ▶ One acting for the respondent

In addition to that, volunteers will be allocated advocacy roles. Groups will be given a period of time to prepare, under the supervision of the Moderators.

The Moot will then take place before the Arbitrator, divided into three phases: ▶ PHASE 1: Oral opening arguments (claimant and respondent) ▶ PHASE 2: Cross-examination of the claimant’s and the respondent’s witness ▶ PHASE 3: Oral closing submissions

The Arbitrator will render an “award” at the end outlining reasons for the decision
