Arbitration lawyer in Saudi Arabia
Arbitration resolves commercial disputes outside the courts: the parties agree to refer their dispute to an arbitrator or tribunal whose award binds them. Many companies choose it for speed, privacy and the ability to choose specialised arbitrators.
Usus Law Firm represents companies in local and international arbitration: drafting arbitration clauses, filing or answering requests for arbitration, pleading before the tribunal, and annulment or enforcement proceedings, including at the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration.
Our arbitration services
- Arbitration clauses: seat, rules, language and number of arbitrators, so the procedure itself is not disputed.
- Representation: requests, statements, evidence and hearings, for claimants or respondents.
- Choosing arbitrators: selection and challenges where there are grounds.
- Annulment: filing or defending annulment claims before the competent court.
- Enforcement: enforcement orders for domestic and foreign awards.
Arbitration in Saudi Arabia
Arbitration is governed by the Arbitration Law, which requires the arbitration agreement to be in writing. The grounds for annulling an award are limited, and the court does not re-examine the merits.
Saudi Arabia is a party to the New York Convention, which helps the recognition and enforcement of foreign awards under its conditions.
