Doctor of Law, Professor, Head of the Department of Business Law, Civil and Arbitration Procedure Institute of Philosophy and Law of NSU Valery Nikolaevich Lisitsa was awarded the honorary title of "Honored Lawyer of the Novosibirsk Region".
The ceremony took place on December 10, 2025, as part of events celebrating Lawyer's Day in the Novosibirsk Region. Regional Governor Andrei Travnikov addressed the participants with a welcoming address, noting that the region's legal community is united and professional, and plays a vital role in developing the region's legal space. On this day, the best representatives of the profession were awarded honorary titles, certificates, and letters of gratitude from the governor.
The honorary title "Honored Lawyer of the Novosibirsk Region" is awarded to specialists with a higher legal education and at least 15 years of experience for significant contributions to strengthening the rule of law and order, the development of legal science and practice, and lawmaking and human rights activities.
For Valery Nikolaevich, this title was recognition of more than 25 years of professional activity.
"I view receiving this title as recognition of my achievements in the field of law, where I have been working for over 25 years since graduating from NSU. During this time, I have had the opportunity to engage not only in research and education but also in practical work in public administration," he noted.
Valery Lisitsa cites his postgraduate studies at the Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and his subsequent defense of his PhD dissertation, which determined his future path in science and education, as key stages in his professional biography. He also cites his work in the public sector, collaborating with public authorities on issues of socio-economic development and the formation of a unified legal space in Siberia.
The choice of a legal profession was largely dictated by time.
"It was the 1990s—a period of major reforms, when the country needed new legal and economic professionals. NSU opened an Economics and Law department at that time. I planned to be an economist, but ended up becoming a lawyer," says Valery Nikolaevich.
Today, his research interests focus on international and national legal regulation of investment and innovation activities, the application of international law in the Russian legal system, and the study of new digital objects. Among his significant research projects is a grant from the Russian Science Foundation, implemented jointly with colleagues, on the legal regime of digital and intellectual property rights.
The staff of Novosibirsk State University congratulates Valery Nikolaevich Lisitsa on receiving this honorary title and wishes him continued scientific success and new professional achievements.
