For your matter in the UAE: Bring your contract, evidence and commercial objectives into one arbitration strategy. BaghdadiLaw handles claims, defences, hearings and follow-up on the award. Founded in 1957, our firm has handled more than 20,000 cases and legal consultations across its practice. Omar Al-Baghdadi leads the team with over 30 years of legal experience.
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. A UAE-connected arbitration depends on a valid agreement and a clear understanding of the seat, rules and dispute scope. Early analysis links the contract and evidence to the claims, defences and procedural decisions the parties will face.
UAE arbitration within Federal Law 6/2018 requires a valid agreement and proper authority. Seat, institution and substantive law are separate choices; DIFC or ADGM seats require examination of their own arbitration framework rather than automatic application of mainland procedure. Read the dispute clause alongside notices and procedural correspondence. Identify the parties, rules and seat stated in the documents before planning submissions or objections.
We agree the work your matter needs: Clarify a defective or uncertain clause before commencing where possible. A negotiated resolution may address commercial priorities; otherwise prepare commencement or defence under the agreed seat and rules, with jurisdiction and urgent protection treated as separate procedural questions. The deliverable is agreed for your file: An arbitration scope-and-evidence brief explaining the agreement, proposed claims or defences and procedural issues for the arbitration team.

Service content updated:
Review the signed clause, parties, defined disputes, seat and applicable rules. A related company or different transaction may raise separate consent questions. The scope should be established before a claim or jurisdictional objection is prepared.
Read the clause and applicable rules; institution and legal seat are not the same concept.
No. Compare the actual parties and disputed obligation with the scope of consent. Related contracts, affiliates or later amendments may raise separate coverage issues even where the main agreement contains an arbitration clause.
