Please make plans now to attend the ABA Section of International Law’s Third Annual Conference on the Resolution of CIS-Related Business Disputes in Moscow on September 12. This Conference, like its widely-acclaimed predecessors, is a “must attend” event for anyone interested in the resolution of business disputes in Russia and the other CIS countries. The Conference will feature world-class experts on topics including corruption in the courts, insolvency litigation, professional responsibility dilemmas in international disputes, shareholder rights, third-party funding of litigation and arbitration, state entities as parties in arbitration, choice of law in cross-border transactions, and a review of recent developments in business dispute resolution. A reception at Spaso House will follow the Conference. Registration is now open, and early registration is encouraged because the Conference and the Spaso House reception will be fully subscribed. This year’s Conference will be held at the Ritz-Carlton. For more information, visit www.americanbar.org/groups/international_law or call +1-202-662-1660.
