International Arbitration and Litigation Practice 3 International Arbitration Currently, the number of international disputes involving Russian companies and individuals is growing at a steady pace. This is a result of Russian companies’ integrating into the world economy as well as the increasing confidence of business entities in international commercial arbitration, which has traditionally been considered a highly professional means of resolving disputes. By combining the strengths of ART DE LEX’s unique team of lawyers with the strengths of the Firm’s leading partners, we are able to resolve every matter and project. This group of specialists is composed of professionals that are experts within their own jurisdiction and possess the requisite legal expertise and skills.
