Arbitration in the Spotlight: Enforcement of Arbitral Awards and Interaction with State Courts After the Arbitration Reform

The Conference will be dedicated to the results of Russian arbitration law reform including the enforcement of arbitral awards and interaction of arbitration with state courts after the reform.

According to the new Russian arbitration law, after 1 November 2017, only those arbitral institutions that have obtained a governmental authorization and complied with the new strict requirements will be able to administer arbitration. In this regard, one of the crucial tasks for arbitral institutions upon the expiration of the transitional period will be to gain credibility and respect not only from business, but also from state courts.

What should be done in this course? Has the arbitration reform succeeded in increasing quality of administration of arbitration and credibility of arbitral institutions? Which jurisdictions and their experience can be helpful for Russia in dealing with the abovementioned challenges? These questions will be analyzed during the first session.

The arbitration reform has also significantly modified the framework for interaction between state courts and arbitration. During the second session, judicial assistance and supervision in arbitration in practice of the Russian and foreign state courts will be discussed.

Moreover, prominent arbitration practitioners will share their experience and discuss the most relevant practical questions with the participants of the conference during an interactive workshop.
