Address by the Dean of the Faculty

In the modern world, law is not just a set of rules, but a powerful strategic tool in international trade, diplomacy, and business. Our International Law Faculty at VAVT trains international lawyers who do not merely know the norms, but who build the legal architectures for global deals, resolve disputes in international arbitration, and protect companies' interests on the world stage.

We provide a unique combination of profound legal expertise, an understanding of economics, and fluency in foreign languages. If you are ready to become someone who represents Russia's legal culture in dialogue with foreign partners, we look forward to welcoming you to our faculty.
