Recognition and Challenge of Arbitral Awards

We benefit from a large network of local consultants in different jurisdictions whom we collaborate with while dealing with cases where courts procedural and enforcement particularities existing in the respective jurisdictions should be heeded to (e.g. in the aforementioned recognition or enforcement proceedings in those states where the respondent is registered or his property is located).

At the request of our clients we organize as well a search of the debtor's assets in a wide range of foreign jurisdictions involving for these purposes trusted partners. Such a search can be of real use, particularly, while deciding whether arbitral proceeding against a debtor should be initiated and expenses associated therewith should be incurred, given the likelihood of the enforcement of a prospective award.

We render legal services on challenge of international arbitral awards before competent authorities not only in Russia but in other jurisdictions as well (in the latter case in colloboration with local consultants). Our lawyers have successfully represented clients in the following cases where international arbitral awards were challenged:

— »	Applicants from the Ukraine, Georgia, and Russia (such applicants were counterparties of large oil-and-gas companies being represented by our lawyers) were denied the setting aside of five ICAC awards in the proceedings handled by Moscow Commercial Court and by the Commercial Court of the Moscow District;
— »	An award rendered under the rules of the Maritime Arbitration Commission at the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry was set aside by Moscow Commercial Court on the application of a trading company represented by our lawyers.

Here you can get familiar with some representative matters of ours and feedback from certain clients.
