Moscow International Business Centre, March 2008

EDITIONS

Continuous editions.

TARGET

Companies, professionals, practitioners, and private people interested in finding efficient solutions to commercial conflicts and disputes..

OBJECTIVE

Bilateral economic relations imply the adoption of specific juridical, administrative and technical practices. Often in financial transactions there are “grey zones” that show themselves through discordance, lack of transparent communication and silence.

This course proposes practical models and procedures that deal with the quick resolution of potentially arising trade conflicts.
