Saud Al-Ammari and A. Timothy Martin

Arbitration has a long history in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It has been used for centuries under Shari’ah law in the Kingdom. However, foreign investors in recent years have experienced difficulty in using arbitration in the country. Saudi Arabia has therefore enacted a new arbitration law that is an improvement over the thirty-year old arbitration law that it replaced. The new arbitration law is based on the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration but with modifications to ensure that the arbitration process does not ‘violate Shari’ah’ as practiced in the Kingdom. The article reviews the important components of the new arbitration law and provides a comparative analysis of it to the previous law and international arbitration practice. It also analyses the recognition and enforcement of international arbitration awards in Saudi courts, including the impact of Shari’ah and the new arbitration and enforcement laws. Finally, it provides a narrative on the Saudi court system and its role in arbitration.

As lawyers, mitigating and managing risk is as much a part of our daily routines as getting a cup of tea or coffee in the morning — that is to say, it’s automatic. It’s what the lawyer in the room is expected to do. And of course we take it a step further, not only using our analysis to let our executives and board members know when a business move may give rise to material risks — but also applying our “solutions-focus” lens to help them figure out how to advance business objectives in a way that matches the organization’s risk appetite.
