Business Breakfast "International Commercial Arbitration and Insolvency"

Sayenko Kharenko invites you to a business breakfast: “International Commercial Arbitration and Insolvency”. We will discuss how insolvency procedures affect international commercial arbitration – and what to do about it in practice.

Speakers:

• Viktor Prorok, Judge, Civil Cassation Court, Supreme Court of Ukraine
• Viacheslav Pieskov, Judge, Commercial Cassation Court, Supreme Court of Ukraine
• Olexandr Droug, Partner, Sayenko Kharenko
• Tatyana Slipachuk, Partner, Sayenko Kharenko
• Alina Bahan, Senior Associate, Sayenko Kharenko
• Katalina Shkuro, Associate, Sayenko Kharenko
• Maksym Melnyk, Associate, Sayenko Kharenko

Agenda:

• Arbitration case studies. Cases from Sweden and Switzerland – how insolvency affects security for costs, stay of proceedings, enforcement of awards and set-off of claims
• International arbitration and insolvency in Ukraine. Can insolvency proceedings be opened where an arbitration agreement exists – and how do courts determine whether a genuine dispute is present?
• Claimant’s insolvency in arbitration. What happens to the arbitration proceedings, who funds the proceedings, and is there room for legislative regulation?
• Recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards against an insolvent debtor in Ukraine. Can such an award transform a "disputed" claim into an "undisputed" one?
• Is the interplay between arbitration and insolvency sufficiently regulated? What changes does Ukrainian legislation need?
