Major global corporations and smaller companies alike are increasingly turning to Saudi Arabia for business opportunities. Saudi Arabia touts major economic development programs and an increasingly accommodating business environment. Panelists will discuss the Saudi judicial reforms that were imposed in late 2013, the process for working with the Board of Grievances (the tribunal tasked with handling most commercial disputes) and the 2012 Saudi arbitration law. They will compare and contrast the Saudi dispute resolution system with that of its neighbor, the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Viewed by many as a thought leader for dispute resolution systems in the Middle East, the UAE has a federal system of laws and courts, and an arbitration system that reflects significant input from leading Western judges and lawyers. The panel also will address the role that monarchic rule, local culture and Sharia law play in the dispute resolution process.
