SPILF 2025 and SPB Legal Day
The Saint Petersburg International Legal Forum, one of the highlight events of the legal world, took place on 19–21 May. Several Asari Legal partners participated in the forum’s various sessions.
On 21 May, our Dispute Resolution partner Dmitry Kaysin spoke at a session dedicated to Development of the Commercial Justice System under the Pressure of External Sanctions: Challenges and Prospects. Judges of the Russian Supreme Court and Constitutional Court, representatives of the arbitration communities of Russia and Hong Kong, and academics, discussed the issues that Russian businesses encounter in seeking justice in economic disputes through commercial courts and arbitration, both in Russia and abroad. Participants in the discussion proposed solutions to make the justice system more efficient in handling business disputes and to protect the interests of Russian business under the pressure of sanctions.
A recording of the session is available at https://legalforum.info/programme/business-programme/7840/.
In addition, 20 May was the traditional SPB Legal Day organised by Pravo.ru under the auspices of the Forum. Stanislav Karandasov, another Dispute Resolution partner with Asari Legal, took part in a round table on International Law and Cooperation in the New Reality, speaking on New Trends: Return to the Old Arbitration Institutions or Squandered Trust? He also shared current statistics on preferred arbitration rules and the relative popularity of arbitration institutions.
