Arbitration

Global Advocacy and Legal Counsel’s Arbitration team have extensive experience in both domestic and international arbitration.  We represent a broad range of clients in both ad hoc and international institutional arbitrations, including the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC), the Dubai International Financial Centre - London Court of International Arbitration (DIFC-LCIA) and the Abu Dhabi Commercial Conciliation and Arbitration Centre (ADCCAC).

We advise on all stages of arbitration proceedings and advocate on our clients’ behalf in arbitration hearings.  With support from our litigation team, who possess local rights of audience before all UAE Courts, we also provide assistance with ratification, recognition and enforcement of international and domestic arbitral awards.

We have acted on some of the most complex, high value arbitrations in the UAE and often work alongside international law firms as co-counsel to provide UAE law advice.  The expertise of our arbitration lawyers has seen our team members appointed as Tribunal Chairman, Sole Arbitrator and UAE legal expert on many international and domestic arbitrations.

Our experience spans all industry sectors including:
