Arbitration looks different depending on where you sit.
Legal professionals
Assessing the centre on the merits.
The 2024 Rules, the fee schedule, the Court’s composition and the award scrutiny process — all published.
Businesses and in-house teams
A contract has gone wrong and litigation looks slow.
Expedited proceedings targeting an award in four months, nine for standard cases, and cost certainty from a published schedule.
Family businesses
A dispute you would rather not make public.
Mediation and arbitration built for confidentiality and preserved relationships, under an MOU with the Family Business Council.
International parties
A contract across two legal systems.
Arabic and civil law capability, and awards enforceable in over 160 countries under the New York Convention.
The Chamber hosts this centre, and never rules on its cases.
It is independent, which is the point. The Chamber convenes it and stands behind it, but the award is never the Chamber’s to make. For a member that means a neutral forum, inside the network, without the cost and delay of going to court.
