The leading arbitration team in Russia

On 25 November 2025, Kommersant Publishing House released the results of its international arbitration study. The assessment was based on several core criteria: the number and quality of cases handled from 2023 to 2025, the complexity of disputes, jurisdictional diversity, the scale and stability of the team, and the reputation of its key lawyers.

Dyakin, Gortsunyan & Partners (DGP) ranked first among Russian law firms advising in the field of international arbitration.

«In international arbitration, much like in football, success is achieved not by one individual but by a team—one whose strength lies in its people. Today, I believe we have the largest arbitration practice on the market, with more than 45 arbitration specialists, including 7 partners, 7 counsel, and 8 senior associates. As a team, we are strong—and I say this without false modesty. Most of us, myself included, have a genuine passion for this field and see our future in it. This global focus unquestionably gives us constant momentum,»
— said Dmitry Dyakin in an interview with Kommersant.

Earlier, in September 2025, DGP also led the Pravo.ru international arbitration ranking, demonstrating clear leadership across all key metrics: the number and total value of disputes, as well as the volume of cases brought before the most prominent arbitral institutions (ICC, LCIA, SIAC).
