M&A disputes in arbitration and litigation

The speakers will discuss most common types of M&A disputes, such as those related to price adjustment, breach of representations and warranties; remedies that are available to parties in such disputes; procedural issues that may arise in M&A arbitrations; and interim measures requested in M&A disputes.

Another important part of the discussion will cover arbitrability issues of certain types of Russian corporate disputes and the requirements imposed on such arbitrability. We will also explore the recent practice of foreign and Russian ‘licensed’ arbitral institutions, as well as Russian state courts in resolving M&A disputes.
