The St Petersburg University team won second place in the FDI Moot competition
Students from St Petersburg University have outcompeted 70 teams from other countries in the FDI Moot, a competition in foreign investment arbitration. The competition was held in the form of a moot court.
The St Petersburg University team included Elizaveta Artiukhova, Anna Gavkaliuk, Anastasiia Aleksandrova and Ana Radoia. The students were coached by professional lawyers Nika Vartanova, Daria Fatalieva (Soshnikova), Marat Mukhametzianov and Aleksandr Poichenko.
This year’s competition was held in a hybrid format: some of the teams participated online and some in-person from King’s College London (the UK). Russia was represented by three teams: Moscow State University, the Higher School of Economics, and St Petersburg University.
The University team won all four qualifying rounds and made it to the finals, where the students competed with the team from the University of Warsaw. In the final round, the team took second place.
The team also received the award for the best claimant’s memorandum. It will be published in the international online journal "Transnational Dispute Settlement".
The St Petersburg University team would like to thank the law firm Denuo and Nordic Star Law Offices for their support.
