Russian Arbitration Law and Practice provides a comprehensive and practical analysis of Russian arbitration law of post-2015 reform. After addressing issues such as arbitrability, arbitration clauses, arbitral procedure, the book looks into the way Russian courts apply arbitration law when Russian parties seek to set aside unfavourable awards and when foreign parties seek to have awards enforced against Russian parties. The book provides guidance to Russian arbitration law in operation, drawing on the authors own practical insight and experience. The author offers a comprehensive description of the relevant areas of Russian law including procedural law, mandatory rules, and the most relevant public regulations that influence recognition and enforceability of an award in Russia. It highlights problematic areas for due diligence of potential Russian business partners, serving the purpose of avoiding future disputes. The book also deals with court procedures in Russia (injunctions, parallel proceedings, etc.) that may affect arbitral proceedings. The issues of recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards in Russia and challenging arbitral awards in Russia are also covered. A section is devoted to particularities of arbitral proceedings at ICAC, Russia's most popular arbitral institution, and to arbitration proceedings with its seat in Russia.

Reviews
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. * Dr. Axel Boes, Deutsch-Russische Rechtszeitschrift *
[I]t is easy to predict that [Russian Arbitration Law and Practice] is to become a widely cited source in articles and future works on Russian and CIS arbitration laws. Secondly, it will be a good gift to a colleague who wants to learn about the specifics of Russian arbitration from a reputable publication. * Dmitry Artyukhov, Arbitration.ru *
Oda's monograph is essential reading for scholars of Russian commercial law as well as practitioners. * Ora John Reuter, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, The Russian Review *
