The Rise of International Commercial Arbitration in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia has made significant progress in the adoption of international arbitration as an effective and appropriate method of conflict settlement. The major reforms made by the Kingdom include:

Approval of Saudi Arbitration Law of 2012: In accordance with the UNCITRAL Model Law.
Saudi Arabia’s membership in the New York Convention (1958): This membership made the Kingdom adopt and enforce foreign arbitration awards.
The establishment of the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration (SCCA): Providing arbitral services in accordance with the best global benchmarks.
Strengthened court support for arbitration: With the increasing endorsement of agreements and arbitral awards by the Saudi courts.

These reforms established the Kingdom's status as a promising venue for settling international disputes through arbitration proceedings.

Why Choose International Arbitration?

International arbitration provides various benefits, which make it better than traditional litigation, particularly when it comes to international deals:

Fair and unbiased Treatment: The parties obtain an arbitration award issued by neutral arbitrators, free from the bias and favoritism that may occur in local courts.
Flexibility: The parties may determine the arbitration rules for themselves. They may also determine the arbitration language, applicable law, and arbitration seat in line with their commercial needs.
Secrecy: The arbitration proceedings are confidential, which safeguards private business information.
Applicability: Arbitration awards can be recognized and enforced internationally under the New York Convention.
Specialized Arbitrators: The parties may select arbitrators who have deep knowledge and expertise in resolving the relevant dispute.

However, to resolve the dispute successfully through international arbitration, you must seek legal advisors who are deeply experienced in both international and Saudi arbitration proceedings.
