The war and the subsequent sanctions against Russia affected arbitration landscape in Europe, raising complex legal and practical issues.

The SCC East-West Forum was founded in 2021 and reflects the SCC’s long-standing experience with the East-West disputes. The Forum is a meeting place for the arbitral practitioners working with the disputes related to Eastern Europe and CIS. Each event of the series includes discussion of arbitral developments in the region and provides insights into the career of an international arbitrator.
