Wednesday 17 June 2015 Registration: 5.30pm Sessions Start: 6pm Drinks and Canapés: 7.30pm Venue: Jones Day, 21 Tudor Street, London, EC4Y 0DJ Synopsis: The largest investment claim for more than USD 51 billion in the bitterly fought Yukos claim has raised many issues. An appeal is underway before the Dutch Courts and it remains to be seen whether challenges to any eventual enforcement measures can be overcome. The decision generates much debate as to aspects of the reasoning adopted by the Tribunal, as well as the future of BITs. What does this all mean for Russia and its ability to attract foreign investors? What is the potential impact upon Investor claims involving Russia and States more generally? Jones Day, in cooperation with the University of Reading School, has assembled a distinguished panel of speakers, who will assess the core risks of doing business in Russia in light of the above issue as well as other economical and sanctions related constraints to offer reflective analysis as well as practical guidance.
