Russian International Arbitration Congress 2025
On May 12 – 17, 2025, the first Russian International Arbitration Congress was held. The event served as a unique platform to bring together leading law firms, business representatives, arbitration institutions, arbitrators, and all those interested in international dispute resolution from Russia and around the world.
The main conference of RIAC 2025 was the flagship event of the Congress, featuring world-renowned speakers. The aim of the conference was to seek answers to timeless questions of arbitration that remain relevant regardless of time, changes in legislation, or international affairs. Speakers addressed complex (even philosophical) challenges that arise in real disputes: the limits of arbitrators' inherent powers, the relationship between national and international legal orders, the impact of imperative norms on arbitration, and the globalisation (or fragmentation) of the arbitration system.
Throughout the Congress, we organised more than 40 dynamic events alongside our RIAC Partners, welcoming over 1,500 participants from around the globe. Each participant made unique contribution to creating an atmosphere of inspiration, warmth, and knowledge-sharing.
We thank all the speakers, ambassadors, and partners who believed in our idea and made this Congress possible. Your passion and energy inspired us to achieve new heights!
