We support commercial mediation and shape settlement proposals around your rights, priorities and business relationships.

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to commercial mediation, with practical knowledge of building a negotiating position around the legal merits, workable settlement terms and the parties’ interests. Mediation gives businesses a structured opportunity to negotiate with a neutral facilitator while retaining control over whether to settle. For a Saudi-connected dispute, prepare a realistic proposal and identify who can authorise it. The mediator’s role is different from an arbitrator deciding the claim.
SCCA’s revised rules took effect on 1 August 2026 and address representation, confidentiality and written settlement. They are institutional rules, not a rule that every commercial negotiation is confidential or enforceable in the same way. Separate documents that existed before mediation from material prepared for the negotiations. Confidentiality and later use should be reviewed under the actual rules rather than assumed from a “confidential” heading.
We agree the work your matter needs: Invite mediation, prepare for an agreed process, narrow the disputed items or return to the appropriate adjudicative route if settlement is not reached. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A mediation position outline, settlement-range issues and review of proposed payment, release and default terms.

Under the SCCA 2026 Mediation Rules, the mediator has no authority to impose terms; parties control the settlement. Those rules apply when they govern the mediation, so the chosen framework must be identified.
Identify a person with the required settlement authority, or make the limits clear in advance. Attendance without decision-making capacity can leave a proposal unresolved.
Record the complete agreed terms and required signatures. The SCCA rules address a written signed settlement; implementation needs more than an informal summary.
