BaghdadiLaw’s experience in arbitration & mediation in Syria

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to arbitration and mediation, with a thorough understanding of dispute routes, case presentation and settlement terms that address legal rights and commercial interests. Legal advice on arbitration and mediation connected to Syria helps parties choose a suitable way to resolve a commercial dispute and prepare the evidence it needs. This hub distinguishes a negotiated agreement from a tribunal’s decision and from collecting on an award.

Syrian Arbitration Law 4/2008 distinguishes arbitration based on party agreement from a negotiated settlement. Articles 7–9 address the agreement, writing and capacity; Article 2 addresses arbitration in Syria and international arbitration abroad where the parties choose the law, while preserving special administrative-contract rules. An award has binding effect under Article 53, but compulsory recovery requires the applicable enforcement step. An ordinary mediated agreement should not be described as an arbitral award. The cited chamber copy is historical, so subsequent changes must be checked. Collect the agreement and the latest procedural record before choosing a strategy. A demand letter, signed settlement and arbitral award carry different legal consequences.

We agree the work your matter needs: Assess a negotiated resolution, an agreed arbitration route or recognition and recovery work where an award already exists. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A mechanism comparison, agreement review and focused list of evidence and next procedural questions.

Common questions

Before requesting advice on arbitration & mediation in Syria

Which mechanism should be considered first?

Read the contract’s dispute terms and identify the immediate objective. Preserving a relationship, obtaining a merits decision and enforcing an existing award are different tasks; cost and timing should be assessed against the actual process.

Is arbitration always cheaper?

No. Consider tribunal and institutional fees, language, evidence and enforcement before making a comparison.

Does advice include appointing an arbitrator?

The agreed consultation scope determines the work; appointment steps and any additional role must be expressly defined.
