Asari Legal continues to expand and reinforce its key practices, and is delighted to welcome back two distinguished partners—Dmitry Kaysin and Stanislav Karandasov—along with their teams of experienced dispute resolution lawyers. This constellation of more than 30 top-tier professionals will significantly enhance the firm’s ability to handle complex international arbitration cases, as well as Russian and cross-border litigation.

Dmitry Kaysin will co-head Asari Legal’s Dispute Resolution Practice. Dmitry is a recognised expert in international arbitration and litigation: for more than 20 years he has represented clients in proceedings under UNCITRAL rules and the rules of leading arbitration institutions across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Dmitry also has extensive experience advocating for clients and arbitrating disputes in Russian arbitral tribunals. He is consistently highly ranked in international and Russian legal directories for his expertise in international arbitration, litigation, and bankruptcy. In addition to his legal practice, Dmitry serves as Vice President of the Russian Arbitration Association and is an Associate Professor at the Higher School of Economics, where he teaches a master’s course on International Investment Arbitration.

Stanislav Karandasov specialises in litigation and domestic and international arbitration. He also advises clients on protecting Russian investments in foreign assets, cross-border insolvency cases, sanctions, and complex corporate disputes. Stanislav has been listed as an arbitrator with the Arbitration Centre at the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs since 2023 and has experience adjudicating international disputes. Kommersant ranks him among Russia’s top lawyers in international dispute resolution, and his work has been recognised by The Legal 500, Best Lawyers, Pravo-300 and Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

Ilya Rybalkin, Co-Head of the Dispute Resolution Practice and Chairman of Asari Legal, commented on this key development: “I am thrilled to be reuniting with such an exceptional team. We have great things ahead!”
