Registration is now open. The 2026 CIS Arbitration Workshop will bring together leading practitioners, arbitrators, in-house counsel, experts and policymakers for two focused online half-days examining the developments reshaping CIS-related disputes.

Sanctions, countermeasures and geopolitical tensions are changing where disputes are heard, how proceedings are conducted and whether judgments and arbitral awards can ultimately be enforced. The workshop combines expert presentations, comparative analysis and practical discussion to help participants understand these changes and respond to the risks they create.

• Sanctions, counter-sanctions and compliance in cross-border disputes
• Russia’s Lugovoy Law and anti-suit and anti-enforcement remedies
• Parallel proceedings and jurisdictional competition
• Commercial and investment arbitration across the CIS region
• The changing geography of arbitral seats and institutions
• Recognition and enforcement across Europe, Central Asia and Greater China

Through two keynotes, four expert panels and a closing roundtable, participants will gain a clearer understanding of recent sanctions and compliance developments, enforcement risks involving CIS-related parties and assets, and the jurisdictions, institutions and legal strategies likely to shape future disputes.

Who should attend
Arbitration and litigation practitioners, in-house counsel, sanctions and compliance professionals, arbitrators, experts, academics, government lawyers, and students or early-career practitioners seeking to develop expertise in CIS-related disputes.
