The Dos and Don’ts of Arbitrating in the Middle East: As part of Dubai Arbitration Week 2025

As part of Dubai Arbitration Week, our Founding Partner, Dr. Mahmood Hussain, participated in an engaging roundtable organised by the Rising Arbitrators Initiative and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP.

The discussion focused on navigating procedural challenges in Middle East–based arbitrations, including strategies for managing highly adversarial parties. Dr. Hussain shared insights on ensuring efficiency and fairness in contentious proceedings.

The session featured a distinguished panel, including Chelsea Pollard (Moderator), Youssef Al Saman, Sherif AKL, Alexios van der Slikke-Kirillov, and Panos Theodoropoulos, fostering a meaningful exchange of perspectives on the evolving arbitration landscape.
