31 October 2019
The Hong Kong International Arbitration Center (HKIAC) has appointed professor Anton V. Asoskov to the HKIAC Council upon the recommendation of HKIAC’s nominations committee, for a six-year term. Asoskov is professor in the civil law department at Lomonosov Moscow State University, and a professor in the international private law department at the Russian School of Private Law. He has acted as an arbitrator in approximately 100 international arbitrations under all major institutional rules and the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules. He is a member of the Russian Council for the Development of Arbitration and a member of the presidium and head of the nominating committee for corporate disputes at International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation.
HKIAC also recently added a Russian national and lawyer, Victoria Khandrimaylo, to its arbitration team. Khandrimaylo previously worked as an associate at an international law firm in Moscow, practicing in the areas of arbitration, corporate and real estate transactions. The appointments of a Russian scholar and arbitrator to HKIAC’s council and a Russian lawyer to HKIAC’s permanent staff are timely developments following HKIAC obtaining permission to function as a permanent arbitral institution under Russian law in April 2019.
