United Arab Emirate’s Dubai has been ranked among the top 10 cities for international arbitration.

The significant boost to Dubai’s status was revealed through a latest report that followed a research by the School of International Arbitration (SIA) at Queen Mary University of London and White & Case LLP.

Only jurisdiction from the Middle East

Dubai was the only jurisdiction from the Middle East which was on the list of the top ten ranked arbitral seats, alongside the most preferred seats of London, Singapore, Hong Kong and Paris.

This is according to the 12th version of the International Arbitration Survey titled ‘Adapting arbitration to a changing world’.

it is worthy to note that Dubai surpassed well-known seats such as Vienna and Washington.

The survey was all about the rankings of arbitral seats and institutions, which is a key reference for decision makers to identify and analyse the needs, expectations, and trends of international arbitration stakeholders.

According to the research report, more than 1,200 questionnaire responses were received and 198 interviews conducted with specialists in 53 cities worldwide over five months.

This was the widest-ever pool of respondents since its first edition in 2006.

Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum took to his official social media accounts to hail the rankings.

“Congratulations to the UAE on Dubai’s achievement of being the only jurisdiction from the Middle East on the top 10 ranked International arbitral seats globally according to @QMUL & @WhiteCase We’re very proud of the team at Dubai Int. Arbitration Centre for being the regions 1st,” he tweeted.

The survey showed that the most import five adaptations that would make arbitral seats more attractive are ‘the greater support for arbitration by local courts and judiciary, increased neutrality and impartiality of the local legal system, better track record in enforcing agreements to arbitrate and arbitral awards, ability to enforce decisions of emergency arbitrators or interim measures ordered by the arbitral tribunals, and ability for local courts to deal remotely with arbitration-related matters.’

The survey analysis expects that Dubai has the potential to climb higher up the arbitration ladder.

It recommended the “activation of a dynamic arbitration ecosystem led by the government and framed by targets and key performance indicators” so as to ‘attract international arbitration cases.’
