News of the Divisions of the Arbitration Center

Our task is to ensure efficient arbitration of high quality, that is available not only in Moscow, but throughout the whole territory of Russia.

In September, we announced the launch of the first regional Far Eastern Division of the Arbitration Center in Vladivostok. We are glad to announce that today, during the conference “Modern Dispute Resolution Methods and Protection of Businessmen’s Rights” in Kamchatka region, a new office of the Far Eastern Division was opened – in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy. Now the parties from the Kamchatka region can send the documents and hold the hearings in their region, without having to go to other locations, which will allow to significantly reduce time and costs of arbitration.
