Russian arbitration law is comprised of distinct legislation on domestic and international arbitration.
Domestic arbitration is regulated by Federal Law No 382-FZ ‘On Arbitration (Arbitral proceeding) in the Russian Federation’ of 29 December 2015 (Arbitration Law), while international arbitration is regulated by Law No 5338-1 ‘On International Commercial Arbitration’ of 7 July 1993 (ICA Law). Both laws were substantially influenced by the UNCITRAL Model Law dated 1985 (with 2006 amendments) as well as by international principles and guidelines.
