BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to arbitration, settlement and awards, connecting the legal work to the matter it must address. This Saudi-connected dispute-resolution section separates obtaining a decision from negotiating an agreement and enforcing an award. Arbitration, mediation and foreign-award recovery have different starting documents. Selecting the correct stage prevents an enforcement problem from being treated as a new claim.
The applicable arbitration law, agreed institutional rules and enforcement framework serve different functions. The SCCA 2026 Mediation Rules govern only mediations within their scope and should not be applied automatically to private negotiation. As of 19 September 2026, the replacement Enforcement Law published on 1 May 2026 is not yet effective: Article 65 provides commencement 180 days after publication. If the chosen route reaches execution, check the filing date and transition rather than treating the new law as already governing the award or settlement. A contract may require discussions before arbitration without guaranteeing settlement. Identify what was required and actually done rather than assuming any exchange satisfies the clause.
We agree the work your matter needs: Review the arbitration clause, prepare mediation or assess foreign-award enforcement. Where the agreement is unclear, resolve that question before committing to a procedure. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A process comparison and document-priority plan for arbitration, negotiated settlement or award recovery.

Construction, partnership, investment and franchise disputes may be governed by an arbitration agreement.
Business mediation gives parties a setting to discuss settlement and continuing relationships.
An international arbitral award needs the right recognition and enforcement file in the country where assets are pursued.
We connect the legal work to a clear objective: A dispute-resolution route matched to the agreement, stage and result required. Check the agreement and whether an award already exists. Mediation seeks consent to terms; arbitration seeks an adjudicated outcome under a valid basis; enforcement concerns an existing instrument.
