Asari Legal Was a Strategic Partner at RIAC 2025
The Russian International Arbitration Congress (RIAC) was held in Moscow on 12–17 May 2025, bringing together international arbitration experts from numerous jurisdictions, from the Middle East and Asia to Europe.
The week of the congress began with the Russian Arbitration Day, where experts discussed fundamental issues related to the development of alternative approaches to dispute resolution. Asari Legal partner Dmitry Kaysin moderated the third session, Investment Disputes and Investment Arbitration.
On 15 May, Asari Legal together with the Russian Arbitration Center organised, under the aegis of RIAC, an evening outing on the Moscow River on the Radisson yacht. More than 200 congress attendees joined us on the ArbitrationShip to enjoy sunset vistas of Moscow and the warm, convivial atmosphere of the arbitration community—a memorable highlight for our foreign guests.
On 16 May, Asari Legal’s Dispute Resolution Practice led a panel on Enhancing Efficiency in International Arbitration: Bridging Technology, Expertise, and Soft Law at the ICLRC Library. Experts discussed the modern approaches and technological solutions that can make arbitration proceedings more efficient, and shared successful cases. Participants in the discussion included:
Varvara Voynova, advocate, counsel, Asari Legal
Roman Zykov, PhD (Law), LL.M, Secretary- General, Russian Arbitration Association (RАА)
Edmund Kronenburg, advocate and solicitor (Singapore), solicitor (England and Wales), LL.B, Managing Partner, Braddell Brothers LLP
