LCIA Seminar on 'The Efficiency & Effectiveness of Arbitration' - St Petersburg, Wednesday 15 June 2016
This seminar focuses on the efficiency and effectiveness of arbitration as it relates to Russian users and disputes, in particular, the different approaches taken by institutions, legislators and other stakeholders to ensure timely and cost effective arbitration.
The panel will discuss the different approaches in relation to case administration, including arbitrator appointment and the calculation of costs, which directly affect efficiency and effectiveness.

This seminar is being held in co-operation with Egorov, Puginsky, Afanasiev & Partners and White & Case.
