Commercial arbitration in Saudi Arabia

How we help with commercial arbitration

• Evidence and document review

  Our review covers contract and arbitration clause, incorporated rules, dispute notices, claim chronology and available procedural correspondence. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

• Must a Saudi arbitration agreement be written?

  Yes. The Saudi Arbitration Law requires a written arbitration agreement. A court defendant relying on it must raise that defence before another claim or defence. Check the signed clause and incorporated terms before responding on the merits. Identify the arbitration agreement, parties, covered dispute, seat and rules. Check any prior negotiation or notice step and the relief sought. Starting arbitration, defending a claim and enforcing an award are different stages with different documents and decisions.
