Arbitration Contract

"I need an Arbitration Contract for a joint venture between a UAE construction company and an international contractor, with DIAC arbitration rules, three arbitrators, and English as the language of proceedings, to be effective from March 2025."

Document background
The Arbitration Contract serves as a crucial legal instrument for establishing alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in the United Arab Emirates. It is designed for use when parties wish to avoid traditional court litigation and prefer to resolve their disputes through arbitration under UAE law. The document incorporates provisions compliant with Federal Law No. 6 of 2018 (UAE Arbitration Law) and considers the UAE's international arbitration commitments, including its participation in the New York Convention. This contract is particularly valuable for commercial relationships where confidentiality, expertise, and efficiency in dispute resolution are priorities. It includes detailed provisions for arbitrator selection, procedural rules, costs allocation, and enforcement mechanisms, while ensuring alignment with UAE public policy requirements and local arbitration practices.
