Perhaps $20 billion of treasure, not to mention an incomparable cultural treasure, is on the line in the fight over who can claim the San José shipwreck in the Caribbean, writes Jeremy Fugleberg. ✔️ What the San José is legally remains an open question. ✔️ The dispute could be simplified if all state parties were signatories of UNCLOS ✔️ The fight over the San José highlights the murky nature of international undersea law.

Arzinger successfully represented a client in multimillion cross-border litigation arising from the russian blockade of Ukrainian ports.   Arzinger was a part of an international team of lawyers from the US, the UK and the Netherlands who assisted the client in a dispute under English law in the Dutch courts. The client suffered from the russian blockade of Ukrainian ports – the client's goods were stuck on the ship and could not leave the Ukrainian port.   In this case, Arzinger's team ensured extensive evidence collection in Ukraine, secured reports from reputable experts in very specific fields, and provided advice on the various issues of Ukrainian law.   The dispute worth tens of millions of US dollars was settled for the benefit of the client.   Associates Valeriia L., Anastasiia Kotliarchuk and our ex-paralegal Dariia Paliienko formed the core team led by Managing associate Volodymyr Nakonechnyi. Counsel Nikita Larionov and partners Andrii Pidhainyi and Sharapa Maryna provided support on specific customs and infrastructure issues Timur Bondaryev 🇺🇦 ensured general supervision of the matter.   #case #arbitration #arzinger #law #lawfirm

I am thankful for this recognition as a former member, Vice President, and President of the Inter-American Juridical Committee of the Organización de los Estados Americanos (OEA) - the oldest and one of the most prestigious international law organs of the Americas. During eight years, I worked intensely, particularly on my reports on #internationalcontracts and #commercialarbitration and the applicable law in #investmentarbitration - both now officially OAS soft law instruments.

I’m excited to share that two of my favourite teams from Mayer Brown and Sayenko Kharenko have come together to discuss the critical topic of international arbitration during times of war. In these challenging times, it's essential to explore how arbitration can provide a framework for conflict resolution and uphold justice. Volodymyr Yaremko Tatyana Slipachuk well done! Stay tuned for next chapters of Arbitration Amidst Adversary from Mayer Brown - together, we can navigate these turbulent waters and strive for peace and resolution. #InternationalArbitration

𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘆 | 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲 An important and commonly encountered legal concept, the Latin phrase “bona fide” translates to “in good faith”, implying an absence of fraud or deceit. Its opposite is “mala fide” or “in bad faith”. A fundamental concept in law since ancient Roman times, it’s still used in legal systems around the world two millennia later! In South Africa it remains ubiquitous in our court decisions and legislation. Whether or not something is found to be “bona fide” can often make or break the outcome of litigation. #Law #Letigation #BonaFide

On 19 September the annual Forbes Federal Legal Forum (https://lnkd.in/dSMQ-5s6) will be held in Moscow - a key event in the field of legal business, where Anna Zabrotskaya, partner at Nordic Star Law Offices, will take part in the debate on the topic "Hello, Through the Looking Glass! International Arbitration for Russian Companies - Is the Game Worth the Candle? "Yes, it's worth it" or "No, it's not worth it". During the debate, participants will be divided into two teams. One team will argue that international arbitration remains the most effective and least risky method of dispute resolution for Russian companies. The opposing team will argue that the alternative should be to refer disputes to Russian state courts, citing, inter alia, the provisions of Art. 248.1 of the Arbitration Procedural Code of the Russian Federation and other legislative norms. The full programme of the event and the list of speakers can be found at https://lnkd.in/dSMQ-5s6. You can find out the answer to the question of whether the game is worth the candle in person at the conference on 19 September. #event_NordicStar #Forbes

You can call me Alice in Wonderland 💁♀️, but I firmly believe that international arbitration offers companies, including state-owned enterprises, a valuable platform to protect their interests on the global stage—particularly when they have a strong legal position and select independent arbitrators wisely. As an advocate of international arbitration, I teach my students that impartial dispute resolution is achievable, even in today’s complex geopolitical landscape. I look forward to these exciting debates at #Forbeslegalforum #Forbes
