BaghdadiLaw’s experience in commercial arbitration in Syria

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to commercial arbitration, with a firm understanding of the arbitration agreement, tribunal jurisdiction, evidence and the presentation of claims and defences. Commercial arbitration connected to Syria begins with the agreement to arbitrate and the dispute it covers. A clause in a draft, a clause signed by another group company and a valid agreement binding the actual parties may lead to different jurisdiction questions.

Articles 7–9 of Arbitration Law 4/2008 address the arbitration agreement, its written form and capacity to agree. Article 2 governs arbitration in Syria and international arbitration abroad where the parties agree to apply the law, subject to its treaty and administrative-contract boundaries. The seat and the chosen substantive law should therefore be identified separately. The chamber’s statutory reproduction provides this historical framework; current amendments still require verification. Prepare the signed agreement and any incorporated terms, then map each proposed claim to the clause. Identify non-signatories and linked contracts before assuming one tribunal can determine everything.

We agree the work your matter needs: Clarify jurisdiction, negotiate an appropriate submission agreement where possible or prepare under the existing clause; assess court steps separately when relevant. The deliverable is agreed for your file: An arbitration-clause assessment, claim-scope map and procedural preparation checklist.

Common questions

Before requesting advice on commercial arbitration in Syria

What should be checked before starting arbitration?

Read the complete clause, identify the parties and signing authority, and distinguish the seat, hearing venue, institution and governing law. Those choices affect the process and should not be inferred from the contract’s language alone.

Is the hearing location always the seat?

No. Identify the legal seat from the agreement or applicable process rather than equating it with a physical meeting location.

Can a group company rely on another company’s clause?

The relationship and legal basis for binding that entity need review; shared ownership alone should not be treated as consent.
