Russian Arbitration Law and Practice

Professor Hiroshi Oda is the Sir Ernest Satow Professor of Japanese Law at the University College London (UCL). He is now affiliated with Waseda University (Tokyo). He has been the Japanese representative to the ICC Court of Arbitration (Paris) since 2003 and a member of the Panel of Arbitrators of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. His activities focus on Japanese and Russian law, namely arbitration, natural resources law, and commercial law. Professor Oda has advised Japanese companies in major Russian energy projects and has also advised Japanese clients in various international disputes. In 2012, he was awarded a Medal of Friendship from the then president of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev for his contribution to the study of Russian commercial law. He has held various visiting professorship in the US and Europe, such as Cornell Law School, University of Munich, University of Fribourg, and, currently, University of Vienna.

Since it is one of the first, and probably the most comprehensive book on Russian arbitration law in English language, Prof. Oda's book gives a unique access to Russian arbitration law especially for non-Russian speakers. It is of special interest for everyone interested in the development of arbitration law in Russia and especially in the different forces that influenced the 2015 reform ... It shows a great insight behind the scenes of the Russian law-making process and the book of Prof. Oda serves as a very valuable source of information in this respect.
