DIAC is a leading institutional platform for the resolution of commercial disputes in the Middle East and South Asia. According to statistics from the Global Arbitration Review, the Centre ranks among the ten busiest arbitral institutions worldwide, and consistently holds a top‑10 global position by aggregate value of disputes under administration, outperforming most regional alternatives.
Appointment to the DIAC Panel of Arbitrators requires documented evidence of experience in conducting international arbitration proceedings, positive references from participants in such proceedings, and an unblemished professional reputation.
Andrei’s arbitration practice spans over 30 years and covers disputes arising under the legal systems of the CIS countries, the EU, the United Kingdom, and the Gulf States.
Previously, Andrei was appointed to the panels of SIAC (Singapore), IAC (Kazakhstan), TIAC (Uzbekistan), and the Russian Arbitration Centre at the RSPP (Russia).
“My appointment to the DIAC Panel of Arbitrators complements Nordic Star’s portfolio of international accreditations and confirms our team’s ability to provide client representation in key arbitration centres worldwide. It also strengthens the firm’s expertise in disputes arising from projects involving Middle Eastern counterparties and other players from the Global South,” commented Andrei Gusev.
