Caucasus and Central Asia Arbitration Series

The Caucasus and Central Asia Arbitration series brings together leading practitioners from within and outside the region to share insights on the key industries and dispute resolution trends shaping the region’s next chapter. Fuelled by large-scale infrastructure and energy projects and sustained foreign investment, the business landscape in the Caucasus and Central Asia is evolving rapidly – and dispute resolution activity is keeping pace.

For parties from the region navigating high-value cross-border disputes, choosing a seat and arbitration institution is one of the most consequential decisions in a case’s life. This event puts that decision at its centre, asking what users from the Caucasus and Central Asia truly prioritise when making that choice – and what it takes to earn their confidence. Legal stability, institutional standing, enforceability, and access to skilled counsel and arbitrators will all be on the table.

Stockholm and the SCC have long been go-to choices for parties from the region. As competition among seats grows and needs evolve, the question is how that position can be maintained and strengthened – what must Stockholm and the SCC keep offering, and where must they adapt, to remain a leading forum for the next generation of regional users?

Join us for this event, held at Mannheimer Swartling’s offices in Stockholm in conjunction with the Swedish Arbitration Days!
