International Commercial Arbitration Textbook 

13 January 2025

Lidings experts took part in authoring the International Commercial Arbitration textbook, published under the auspices of the Arbitration Court Journal. The textbook was prepared by a team of well-known Russian and foreign experts in dispute resolution and international arbitration and is currently by far the most extensive and relevant tutorial publication on international commercial arbitration covering various aspects of it published in Russian.

The third edition of the book has been revised taking into account the updating of arbitration legislation in a number of countries, as well as documents of “soft” procedural law and the development of judicial practice. New sections are included, in particular, on third-party financing of arbitration, the impact of unilateral sanctions on arbitration, and the liability of arbitrators and arbitral institutions.

Lidings experts authored subsections on claims, arbitrability and bankruptcy.
