Dentons Georgia sponsors and supports the 15th Tbilisi Vis Pre-Moot.

Dentons' Tbilisi office has continued its tradition of supporting the Arbitration Initiative Georgia (AIG) by providing both professional and financial assistance in organizing the 15th Tbilisi Vis Pre-Moot competition.

"This year, we were particularly inspired by the diversity represented throughout the event, diversity of jurisdictions, academic backgrounds, professional experiences, and perspectives. Bringing together participants from different legal systems and cultures created a truly dynamic exchange of ideas and reinforced the global nature of our profession. "- commented Tbilisi Vis pre-moot team.





Among many well-regarded lawyers from Georgia and other jurisdictions, Lela Basilaia represented Dentons Georgia as an arbitrator at the Pre-Moot. She judged at hearings involving four university teams from the Czech Republic, Germany, and Saudi Arabia: Free University of Berlin, Ruhr University Bochum, Prince Sultan University, and Masaryk University.





Dentons Georgia is proud to continue this tradition and remain actively involved in such an important initiative, which aims to promote arbitration and encourage students' engagement not only in Georgia but across the region.

"We have supported the Vis Pre-Moot for many years. We are proud to provide both financial and intellectual support to the organizers of the Pre-Moot and, through this initiative, contribute to the development of the legal professional community in Georgia," said Otar Kipshidze, Managing Partner of Dentons Georgia.

The Tbilisi Vis Pre-Moot is an annual event organized by Arbitration Initiative Georgia since 2010. It serves as an international preparatory round for the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot. Since 1994, the Vis Moot has been held annually in Vienna, Austria, bringing together more than 300 law schools from around the world and inspiring the organization of more than 20 Pre-Moot competitions globally each year. It is the largest arbitration moot competition and the second-largest moot court competition worldwide.
