Helping you resolve issues without the need for court proceedings.
In Dubai, arbitration refers to the process of settling disputes with a neutral third party, omitting the need for the courts to be involved. We can support you with all aspects of domestic and international arbitration.
This process is often favoured by individuals and businesses as it can save time, reduce costs and allow the situation to be dealt with in a more amicable manner.
Arbitration cases in the UAE should always be confidential, and each party should be treated equally.
