In partnership with SOL International Ltd, LexisNexis was pleased to host the 3rd Dubai edition of the Developments in International Arbitration seminar in Dubai, UAE on 29 November 2022.

Special guest speaker Gary Born, one of the world’s pre-eminent experts on international commercial arbitration and international litigation, provided his valuable knowledge and insight on the recent changes in international arbitration and the latest developments in arbitration in the UAE and broader Middle East region.

The seminar kicked off with a welcome address by Sarah Haddadi (LexisNexis Middle East). It was followed by a panel discussion, where Gary Born (Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP), Anne Hoffmann, Hasan Arab (Al Tamimi & Company) and Fatima Balfaqeeh (RKAH Consultancy Firm) discussed the recent changes in international arbitration, anticipated developments in arbitration in the Middle East over the next five years, and what changes need to be made to ensure credibility in the region.
