UzAW 2025: BRULA Hosts English Law Day and Case Study Session

On 24 September 2025, the British-Uzbek Law Association (BRULA) hosted an in-depth professional session as part of Uzbek Arbitration Week (UzAW 2025), bringing together leading practitioners and arbitration experts from the United Kingdom and Uzbekistan.

The panel was introduced by Sherzod Abdulkasimov, one of the Founding Member of the British-Uzbek Law Association, who highlighted BRULA's ongoing commitment to fostering collaboration and sharing practical experience between legal communities of both jurisdictions.
