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 parties to a UAE business dispute a structured opportunity to negotiate a settlement. Preparation should identify negotiable terms, decision-making authority and the steps needed to document the agreement's intended legal effect.
UAE mediation under Law 40/2023 must be distinguished from adjudication. The mediator assists agreement rather than imposing the commercial outcome; authority to settle and the form needed to give the settlement its intended legal effect should be addressed before signature. Clarify who can agree binding settlement terms and which issues are negotiable. Prepare a realistic proposal with payment or performance mechanics, not only a preferred headline amount.
We agree the work your matter needs: Use mediation where parties can make informed concessions and have authority to settle. If an agreement is reached, document payment, default and disposal of proceedings; if core consent is absent, assess the adjudicative route rather than promise a settlement. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A mediation position paper and settlement checklist defining disputed issues, acceptable trade-offs and terms requiring clear documentation.
