Our Legal Arbitration Services Process
At Dr. Ahmed AlRamsy Advocates and Legal Consultancy, we follow a structured approach to international arbitration, providing an efficient alternative to traditional court proceedings while safeguarding your interests. Arbitration is based on an arbitration agreement between the parties, which defines how disputes will be managed and resolved by a neutral arbitrator or an arbitral panel. This process ensures faster resolution, greater control over procedures, and enforceable outcomes globally under instruments like the New York Convention.
Our Arbitration Process Steps:
Arbitration Agreement
Establishing the legal basis for arbitration through a clause in the contract or a separate agreement, specifying rules, institution, and seat of arbitration.Commencement of Arbitration
Filing a Notice of Arbitration to the opposing party to formally initiate the process according to the agreed rules.Formation of the Arbitral Tribunal
Selecting one or three arbitrators as agreed by the parties or under institutional rules, ensuring neutrality and expertise.Issue and Schedule Determination
Defining the points of dispute, setting the timetable for submissions, and organizing the procedural framework.Hearings and Evidence Submission
Conducting hearings where evidence is presented, witnesses are heard, and legal arguments are made both orally and in writing.Award Issuance
The arbitral tribunal delivers a final binding award, enforceable locally and internationally, which resolves the dispute definitively.
This structured process ensures a legally robust, efficient, and globally enforceable solution for commercial disputes, providing businesses with certainty and protection while avoiding lengthy court procedures.

Legal Arbitration Services- Frequently Asked Questions
What is arbitration and when should it be used?
Arbitration is a private dispute-resolution process where parties agree to submit their disagreement to an impartial arbitrator instead of the court. It should be used when confidentiality is important, when disputes require technical expertise, or when parties operate in different jurisdictions. Arbitration also avoids lengthy court litigation and typically results in a final, binding award.
Is arbitration legally enforceable within the UAE?
Yes, Arbitration is legally enforceable in the UAE under Federal Law No. 6 of 2018 on Arbitration, which provides a clear framework for recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards. The UAE is also a signatory to the New York Convention, meaning foreign arbitral awards can be enforced in UAE courts, subject to limited exceptions. This makes arbitration an effective mechanism for both domestic and international dispute resolution.
What kind of disputes are most appropriate for arbitration?
Arbitration is ideal for commercial, construction, real estate, corporate, joint-venture, and cross-border disputes where confidentiality, technical expertise, and enforceability are priorities. It is commonly used in high-value contracts, complex business arrangements, and multi-jurisdictional transactions. Arbitration is also suitable when parties want neutral decision-makers or prefer faster proceedings compared to traditional court litigation
Does your firm handle international arbitration cases?
Yes, we regularly represent clients in international arbitration under leading institutional rules such as DIAC, ICC, LCIA, UNCITRAL and others. Our team assists with jurisdiction issues, choice of seat and governing law, cross-border evidence, and global enforcement strategies. We handle multi-national disputes involving international companies, foreign investors, and cross-jurisdictional commercial arrangements.
How do I initiate an arbitration case in Dubai?
To start an arbitration case, you must first ensure your contract contains a valid arbitration clause. You then file a Request for Arbitration with the chosen institution—such as DIAC or ICC—along with required documents, evidence, and fees. Our arbitration lawyers assist with preparing the notice, identifying legal grounds, selecting arbitrators, and ensuring compliance with procedural rules to avoid delays.
What if the opponent does not honor the arbitral award?
If a party refuses to comply with an arbitral award, the winning party may apply to the UAE courts for enforcement. The court will review the award to ensure it meets statutory requirements, then issue an execution order. Because the UAE follows the New York Convention, foreign awards can also be enforced. Our team handles enforcement actions, challenges, and asset tracing where needed.
How long does arbitration normally take in the UAE?
Arbitration timelines vary depending on the institution, complexity of the dispute, and availability of evidence. Many cases conclude within 6 to 18 months, which is generally faster than traditional court litigation. Institutional rules such as DIAC and ICC encourage structured timelines and procedural efficiency. Effective preparation and proactive case management can significantly shorten the process.
Are employment disputes subject to arbitration in the UAE?
Employment disputes in the UAE are generally handled through the Ministry of Human Resources and the UAE Labour Courts. However, arbitration may be permitted in certain high-level employment contracts, particularly where parties are sophisticated commercial entities. Whether an employment matter can be referred to arbitration depends on the contract wording and applicable legislation. Legal advice is essential before initiating arbitration in employment cases.
Why is arbitration used in commercial disputes?
Arbitration is commonly used in commercial disputes because it is confidential, flexible, and faster than court litigation. It allows parties to appoint specialist arbitrators and offers neutrality in cross-border transactions. Arbitration awards are also easier to enforce internationally under the New York Convention, which the UAE is a signatory to, making it ideal for businesses operating locally and globally.
What makes your arbitration services unique?
Yes, a clear and enforceable arbitration clause is essential. It should specify the arbitration institution (such as DIAC or ICC), the seat of arbitration, governing law, number of arbitrators, and language of proceedings. Poorly drafted clauses often lead to delays or jurisdictional challenges. Our lawyers draft customised clauses to ensure enforceability and alignment with your commercial objectives.
Do I need a specific clause for arbitration?
We combine local UAE legal expertise with international arbitration experience, allowing us to manage both tribunal proceedings and related court actions. Our lawyers handle complex business, construction, and cross-border disputes with strategic precision. We also support clients with drafting clauses, evidence preparation, enforcement, and annulment cases, offering a complete end-to-end arbitration service.
Can arbitral awards be enforced in the UAE?
Yes, arbitral awards—whether domestic or foreign—can be enforced in the UAE under the Federal Arbitration Law and the New York Convention. The UAE courts generally support enforcement unless the award violates essential legal requirements. Our team prepares enforcement petitions, responds to challenges, and assists with international recognition where assets are located abroad
Is arbitration faster than court litigation in Dubai?
In most cases, yes, arbitration is typically faster because it avoids multi-layered court procedures and allows parties to control timelines. Institutions like DIAC or ICC provide structured rules that promote efficiency. While duration varies, many arbitration cases conclude within 6–18 months, making it significantly quicker than traditional litigation in complex commercial disputes
Can arbitration proceedings be conducted online or remotely?
Yes, UAE arbitration institutions allow remote hearings, virtual witness examinations, and electronic document submissions. These procedures became widely accepted following global shifts toward digital legal processes. Remote arbitration reduces travel, speeds up scheduling, and makes cross-border participation easier without compromising procedural fairness.
Do I need a lawyer to represent me in arbitration?
While not mandatory, legal representation is strongly recommended. Arbitration involves procedural rules, evidentiary requirements, and strategic advocacy that benefit from experienced counsel. A skilled arbitration lawyer ensures your case is properly presented, deadlines are met, jurisdictional challenges are managed, and the final award is enforceable. Professional representation significantly improves the chances of a favorable outcome.
