London-based partner Nicholas Peacock has authored an article for Law360, together with former Herbert Smith Freehills intern Paula Daniela Cala, covering Ukrainian arbitration claims against Russia arising out of events in Crimea in 2014.
The article focuses on the eight claims filed under the 1998 investment treaty between Russia and Ukraine which are related to events that allegedly occurred during the incorporation of Crimea into the Russian Federation in 2014. It covers the claims brought to date and how the tribunals have responded to the unusual factual and legal background.
The full article is accessible here.
