The Legal 500 believes the list represents a true reflection of those practitioners that are regarded as the very best in the market.

The Legal 500 has been analyzing the capabilities of law firms in various jurisdictions for over three decades. Its impeccable reputation and its recognition by professional community derive from the complexity of research and selection procedure. The Arbitration Powerlist: CIS and Caucasus showcases the leading practitioners working in the dynamic and evolving region where arbitration is on the rise. “We think the listing reflects those practitioners that are deemed the gold standard by business”, commented The Legal 500’s Global head of international research James Wood.
