Managing Partner Konstantin Krasnokutskiy and Partner Konstantin Putrya visited the Singapore International Arbitration Centre, which has been rapidly gaining popularity among Russian companies.
Official statistics show that the number of SIAC disputes involving Russian parties has doubled in the past year. In 2023, there were only 11 such cases, whereas in 2024 the figure rose to 25.
NAVICUS.LAW’s partners wish to express their gratitude to SIAC Registrar Vivekananda Neelakantan and Deputy Counsel Vakhtang G., who conducted a detailed tour for the Russian lawyers.
“SIAC is one of the most convenient venues for dispute resolution and should be the forum of choice for Russian companies working with counterparties from Asia, the Middle East, and other non-Western jurisdictions,” says Konstantin Putrya. He believes the centre combines neutrality and predictability, while being less exposed to sanctions than European arbitration centres.
