FAQ

Common questions

General information only; every case turns on its facts.

Are foreign arbitral awards enforced in Saudi Arabia?

Yes, the Kingdom is party to the New York Convention, and an award is enforced through the enforcement court if it meets the conditions and does not conflict with public policy.

What matters most in an international arbitration clause?

The seat, institution, language, number of arbitrators and governing law. Leaving one out invites a side dispute.
