ICDR Young & International, Moscow Arbitration Forum Below 40, and the American Bar Association's Section of International Law present: The Moscow Seminar for Young Practitioners. "Arbitration on the Edge of the Rules. When does a Clever Procedural Tactic Become an Abuse?" The program will be held from 4.30 PM - 7.30 PM, with registration opening at 4.00 PM, at The Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2nd Floor, Znamenka Street 10, 119991 Moscow, Russia. Where lies the border between acceptable tactics and abusive procedural tricks in international arbitration? Who guards that border and what happens if it is violated? What are the remedies against procedural maneuvers such as excessive challenges, last-minute motions, disruptive interim measures, and "Friday night filings", which are formally allowed under the applicable arbitration rules but increase time and delay and challenge due process? Please join us for a debate with international and Russian arbitration practitioners on these and other topical issues. Our keynote speaker, Nicholas Munday, the head of litigation & arbitration at Clifford Chance Moscow, will examine the ICDR and MKAS arbitration rules in search for "ticking procedural bombs" among their provisions as well as for rule-based shields against them. His presentation will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Yulia Andreeva (Debevoise & Plimpton), Andrey Astapov (Astapov Lawyers), Dmitri Evseev (Arnold & Porter), Julia Romanova (Chadbourne & Parke), and Maria Theresa Trofaier (CMS Reich-Rohrwig Hainz). The seminar will be followed by a reception and dinner for the speakers and participants. The program and reception are brought to you without cost thanks to the generous sponsorship of Astapov Lawyers International Law Group, Chadbourne & Parke, Clifford Chance, and CMS Reich-Rohrwig Hainz, with additional support provided by Arnold & Porter.
