Commercial Litigation (Russia/CIS practice) Senior Associate/Associate Director - Osborne Clarke - Bristol
The practice
Our Russia/CIS practice was born in the mid-2000s, when we were instructed on two very large disputes relating to Russia/CIS. We act for major corporations, financial institutions and private individuals in a wide variety of cases including High Court litigation, enforcement proceedings, and international arbitration under the Rules of LCIA, ICC, SCC and other institutions.
Through the network we have built up in Russia and the CIS we have also been able to help many of our international clients with Russia/CIS business projects – ranging from setting up businesses and branches to helping with advertising and sponsorship contracts for the Sochi Winter Olympics.
