International arbitration, legal expertise and representation in resolving cross-border disputes
Amid globalisation and increasingly complex multi-jurisdictional links, classic legal approaches no longer work. Cross-border disputes, international contracts and conflicts with a foreign element demand the highest level of qualification — at the intersection of national laws, international conventions and arbitral practice.
Candidate of Legal Sciences (PhD equivalent), associate professor, international arbitrator and expert A. Danilevich offers authoritative solutions for international commercial arbitrations and foreign courts, acting in three capacities: arbitrator, independent expert and counsel.

BRSUInternational commercial arbitration
International commercial arbitration is one of the most popular ways of resolving foreign trade disputes and a core subject-matter specialisation of counsel.
Resolution of sports disputes
Sports disputes require a deep understanding not only of general law but also of the specific international and national sports legislation (Lex Sportiva). Depending on the nature of the conflict, such cases may be heard both in the disciplinary bodies of sports federations and in specialised arbitral tribunals.
Aliaksandr Danilevich is a recognised sports law expert with extensive international and domestic experience. He is a member of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS-CAS) in Lausanne (Switzerland) — the highest appellate authority in world sport — and previously sat on the Sports Arbitration Court under the Union of Lawyers of the Republic of Belarus.
In what capacity can Aliaksandr Danilevich take part in sports disputes?
Thanks to his standing and qualifications, Aliaksandr Danilevich can appear in proceedings in various roles:
- Arbitrator (judge) appointed by the parties or the court: for the independent, objective and final resolution of the dispute in CAS or other arbitrations.
- President of the arbitral tribunal: to preside over proceedings heard by a panel of arbitrators.
- Counsel: to defend the rights of athletes, coaches, clubs or federations at any stage of sports disputes.
For which cases and disputes can he be elected or appointed?
The arbitrator’s competence covers two main categories of sports disputes:
1. Commercial and contractual disputes (first-instance arbitration):
- Transfer conflicts: disputes between clubs over player transfers, training compensation and solidarity mechanisms.
- Contractual disputes: breaches or early termination of employment contracts between athletes (coaches) and clubs, salary and bonus arrears.
- Sponsorship and advertising contracts: disputes over performance of obligations between sports organisations, athletes and brands/investors.
- Broadcasting rights: conflicts over media rights to sports events.
2. Disciplinary and institutional disputes (appellate arbitration):
- Doping cases: appeals against decisions of anti-doping organisations (WADA, national agencies) on athlete disqualifications.
- Disciplinary sanctions: challenges to federation decisions on unsportsmanlike conduct, disqualifications, fines or loss of points/titles.
- Participation in competitions (eligibility): disputes over the right of an athlete or team to take part in the Olympic Games, World or European Championships or other major tournaments.
- Ethical and governance conflicts: disputes over elections to sports bodies, corruption scandals or manipulation of competition results (match-fixing).
Investment disputes
An investment agreement, international treaty and/or applicable legislation may provide for pre-arbitration settlement of investment disputes. Proper observance of pre-arbitration settlement can eliminate the dispute altogether and resolve the investor’s problem, or ensure compliance with all requirements for filing a claim against the state before the competent forum (ICSID, arbitral tribunal, etc.).
Resolving investment disputes also involves deciding the important question of the competent or most appropriate forum for hearing the investment dispute, or assessing the arbitration clause contained in the investor’s investment contract with the state.
Aliaksandr Danilevich can serve as arbitrator at the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), an international commercial arbitral tribunal hearing investment disputes.
The procedure for settling investment disputes under ICSID is governed by the 1965 Washington Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States and the Arbitration Rules of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. Counsel can prepare the claimant’s position in such a dispute and represent its interests in proceedings before the Centre.
The procedure for hearing investment disputes in commercial arbitral tribunals is no different from that for “ordinary” foreign-economic disputes. Nevertheless, the specific nature of investment relations requires the arbitrator to take a serious approach to determining the investment character of the dispute itself, so that international investment protection and promotion agreements can be applied.

Request appointmentHow we work
Case review
Analysing the request for conflicts of interest and defining the exact list of legal questions requiring clarification.
Analysis of materials
Examining the documents provided, the applicable legislation and current case law.
Preparing the opinion
Drafting a detailed expert opinion in the required language (or with a certified translation), with the relevant legal acts appended.
Standards and authority of the expertise
Each legal opinion is prepared in strict compliance with the procedural requirements of the country where the case is heard (e.g. the Family Procedure Rules in the United Kingdom or the rules on adducing expert evidence in the US federal courts).
- Independence and objectivity. The opinion is impartial, ensuring maximum probative value (probative value) before judges and arbitrators.
- Academic and practical precision. Analysis rests not only on the bare text of statutes but on current case law, doctrinal interpretation and conflicts principles.
- Accessible international format. The document is structured so that a foreign judge can unambiguously interpret the specific institutions of foreign law.
Expert opinions: International civil procedure
Cross-border litigation invariably encounters conflicts between the procedural laws of different states. Questions of which court has jurisdiction, how to duly notify a foreign respondent, and whether the resulting judgment will be recognised abroad require deep expertise at the intersection of national legislation and international conventions.
I specialise exclusively in preparing qualified expert opinions on international civil and arbitral procedure for submission to courts and international arbitrations worldwide.
Who is this service for?
- For international advocates and litigation teams: Strengthening the procedural position, blocking abusive claims in unfavourable jurisdictions, substantiating or contesting the enforceability of decisions.
- For foreign courts and arbitrations: Providing an independent analysis of how national legal systems interact, of the applicability of international treaties and of compliance with procedural requirements.
- For corporations and private individuals: A procedural risk audit before embarking on large-scale cross-border litigation.
Areas of expert opinions
Expert Aliaksandr Danilevich prepares official legal opinions on the following key aspects of international civil procedure:
- International jurisdiction and jurisdictional disputes
- Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards
- Cross-border service of documents and notification of parties
- International legal assistance and taking of evidence abroad
- Procedural status and immunities of foreign persons
Professional standards and authority
Each opinion is prepared with regard to the strict evidential standards of the country where the case is heard and carries impeccable probative value.
- Procedural neutrality. My opinions are impartial, commanding maximum confidence from foreign judges and arbitrators.
- In-depth synergistic analysis. Each opinion rests on a comprehensive analysis of national procedural law, multilateral and bilateral international treaties, and the case law of supranational courts.
- Accessible international format. Idiosyncratic institutions of local procedure are translated into the language of generally accepted global procedural standards intelligible to a foreign judge.
How we work
Checking the parties to the dispute to exclude any conflict of interest and ensure the absolute independence of the expert.
Defining the scope of expertise
Agreeing with the client or the court the exact set of procedural-law questions requiring clarification.
Analysis and delivery
Detailed examination of the procedural facts and applicable conventions, and preparation of the opinion in the required language.
Expert opinions: Private international law
Every cross-border transaction, international contract or dispute with a foreign element inevitably faces the central conflicts question: which country’s law takes priority and governs the legal relations? Errors in determining the applicable law can invalidate contracts, lose assets and lose cases.
I specialise exclusively in preparing qualified expert opinions on conflicts and substantive issues of private international law for submission to national courts and international commercial arbitrations worldwide.
Who is this service for?
- For international litigators and advocates: Building strong legal argumentation, substantiating the application of the national law most favourable to the client or contesting the applicable law relied on by the other side.
- For judges and arbitrators (ICC, LCIA, SCC, IAC at the BelCCI, ICAC and others): Providing independent, academically precise expertise for the correct interpretation of foreign legal institutions and the resolution of conflicts.
- For corporate counsel and in-house teams: Legal audit of contractual structures and cross-border holdings at the pre-dispute settlement stage.
Areas of expert opinions (PIL)
I prepare official legal opinions on the following key aspects of private international law:
- Resolving conflicts questions
- Application and interpretation of foreign law
- Limits on the application of foreign law
- Characterisation of legal concepts: resolving conflicts arising from different interpretations of legal institutions across countries (e.g. characterising an institution as procedural or substantive, determining the legal nature of cross-border torts, trusts or unjust enrichment).
- Renvoi and transmission to the law of a third state
Civil and commercial law of Belarus
When hearing cross-border commercial, corporate or property disputes, foreign courts and international arbitral institutions often need to apply or interpret the substantive law of the Republic of Belarus. In such proceedings, an Expert Opinion — the official legal opinion of an independent expert — becomes a key element of the evidential base.
Expert Aliaksandr Danilevich specialises in preparing qualified expert opinions on civil, commercial and private international law of the Republic of Belarus for submission to courts, state authorities and arbitrations worldwide.
Who is this service for?
- For international law firms and advocates: Strengthening your client’s position in foreign proceedings, substantiating the interpretation of Belarusian legal rules in a context favourable to the case.
- For foreign courts and arbitrations (ICAC, LCIA, SCC, ICC and others): Providing an objective, independent and authoritative analysis of Belarusian legislation and enforcement practice for a lawful decision.
- For large businesses and investors: Expert confirmation of the legal status of Belarusian assets, the validity of transactions or the specifics of corporate governance for foreign counterparties and regulators.
The expert prepares official legal opinions on the following key institutions of civil and commercial law of the Republic of Belarus:
- Corporate law and the status of legal entities
- Obligations and contract law
- Security for obligations and liability
- Protection of ownership and rights in rem
- Specifics of IT-sector and Hi-Tech Park regulation
Expertise in international family law
In cross-border family disputes, foreign courts and state authorities regularly face the need to apply, interpret or take into account the legislation of other states. In such proceedings, the official legal opinion of an independent expert becomes key evidence. Expert Aliaksandr Danilevich specialises in preparing qualified expert opinions on private international (conflicts) and family law for submission to courts and state authorities worldwide.
Who is this service for?
- For international law firms and advocates: Strengthening your client’s position in foreign proceedings, confirming or rebutting legal facts under the applicable law.
- For foreign courts and arbitrations: Providing an objective, independent and authoritative analysis of legal rules for a lawful decision.
- For private individuals: Verification of the legal status of documents, marriages, divorces or property rights for foreign authorities.

Property status and cross-border assets
Analysis of the regime of joint and personal spousal property. Clarifying the specifics of holding business shares, stock, beneficiary rights in trusts and foreign foundations upon divorce.
Validity and enforceability of agreements
Review of marital agreements (pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements) and property division agreements for compliance with the law of the relevant country and their prospects of recognition by a foreign court.
Legal status of marriage and divorce
Confirmation of the lawfulness of the marriage or divorce, of due notification procedure, and of the absence of obstacles to recognition of judgments in other jurisdictions.
Children’s rights and parental duties.

Representation in international commercial arbitration
Resolving disputes in international arbitral institutions (ICC, LCIA, SCC, VIAC, ICAC and others) is fundamentally different from litigation in state courts. Arbitral proceedings require counsel not merely to know substantive law but to deeply understand specific rules, cross-border specifics and a unique legal culture in which the boundaries between continental and Anglo-Saxon legal systems blur.
I provide professional and independent representation of parties in international commercial arbitration, combining fundamental expertise in private international law with impeccable knowledge of arbitral procedures.
Practice areas and stages of defence
Full-cycle representation covers every stage of an arbitral dispute:
- Pre-arbitration audit and strategy: Assessing the enforceability of the arbitration clause, analysing risks, calculating the commercial viability of proceedings and developing a step-by-step defence strategy.
- Drafting procedural documents: Preparing statements of claim (Notice of Arbitration / Statement of Claim), defences, applications for interim measures and other procedural documents in the working language of the arbitration.
- Constituting the tribunal: Expert assistance in selecting and appointing qualified, independent arbitrators and, where necessary, conducting challenge procedures (Challenge of Arbitrators).
- Oral hearings: Direct advocacy before the tribunal, cross-examination of witnesses and experts.
- Post-arbitration support: Challenging arbitral awards before competent state courts or, conversely, supporting their recognition and enforcement abroad under the 1958 New York Convention.
Professional ethics standards: the IBA Guidelines (2013)
In international arbitration, parties and their lawyers often come from different legal cultures, which can produce clashes of conduct standards. In my practice I strictly follow global benchmarks and principles of good faith.
Client representation is conducted in strict compliance with the IBA Guidelines on Party Representation in International Arbitration (2013).
Compliance with this international standard guarantees:
- Procedural integrity: Exclusion of any form of abusive process tactics (guerrilla tactics), protecting the client from cost sanctions by the tribunal.
- Evidentiary standards: Impeccable practice in preparing witnesses (witness statements) and experts, as well as document disclosure.
- Confidentiality and absence of conflicts: Maximum protection of commercial secrets and the client’s reputation at every stage.
Why entrust a dispute to an expert-arbitrator?
- A view from the tribunal’s perspective: Experience as a neutral arbitrator and drafting complex legal opinions (Expert Opinion) lets me see the case through judges’ eyes. I know which arguments persuade an international tribunal and which will be dismissed as untenable.
- Managing cross-border risks: Deep understanding of how legal systems interact makes it possible to coordinate multi-jurisdictional disputes effectively and prevent parallel proceedings in state courts.
- Effective budgeting: Optimising process costs, assessing prospects for third-party funding and minimising the risk of adverse costs orders against your client if the case is lost.

This circumstance requires mandatory disclosure to the parties in order to obtain their written consent (waiver).
If your answers above show no signs of conflict, you may answer 10 questions based on the Orange List of the IBA Guidelines.
Unlike the Red List, Orange List circumstances do not block an appointment automatically. They do, however, create a potential conflict of interest, so the arbitrator must formally disclose them to the parties. If within 30 days the parties raise no reasoned objection, they are deemed to have consented to the appointment.
Preliminary audit: circumstances subject to disclosure
(Based on the Orange List of the IBA Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration)
Below are questions concerning situations which under international standards are not an absolute bar to appointment but require mandatory disclosure to the parties to ensure full transparency.

What this means (IBA Orange List): The situation where the same law firm regularly nominates you as arbitrator across proceedings.
3. Are you currently hearing another case as arbitrator involving one of the parties to the current dispute (or its affiliate)?
What this means
What this means (IBA Orange List): A parallel arbitration involving the same claimant, respondent or their subsidiaries.
4. Do you and counsel for one of the parties currently sit together on the tribunal in another (unrelated) case?

8. Does your law firm (or advocates’ bureau) advise one of the parties on matters unrelated to this arbitration?
What this means
What this means (IBA Orange List): Where you are not personally involved, but your firm’s partners advise the party (or its branch) on current tax, transactions or other matters without your participation.
9. Does your law firm act for a client who is a direct competitor of one of the parties?
What this means
What this means (IBA Orange List): A commercial or industry conflict potentially affecting the perception of your impartiality.

10. Do personal friendly ties connect you with any of the advocates or key witnesses in the case?
What this means
What this means (IBA Orange List): Regular personal contact outside the professional setting, shared holidays or other social ties going beyond ordinary collegial courtesy.
