We are excited to use our years of experience and network to continue to grow and benefit our professional community of friends and colleagues who are just starting their careers.
2024 — 10th anniversary of RAA25!
RAA25 is a platform that brings together lawyers in the field of international commercial arbitration. We provide an opportunity for legal counsel, in-house lawyers, Russian and foreign experts to share their experience, develop their career, and find partners and like-minded individuals.
Our goal is to create a supportive environment that promotes the organic growth and expansion of the arbitration community.
About RAA25
RAA25 was founded in 2014 as part of the Arbitration Association. It was created with the aim of promoting arbitration among young professionals and providing opportunities for them to enhance their knowledge and skills. The association was founded by recent graduates of law schools from leading Russian universities and proactive members of the arbitration community who joined forces to support the next generation of arbitration experts.
We continue to develop these traditions and every year we attract more and more experts who share our passion about arbitration. We are also most welcome to talented friends from various related fields!
