ADGM Arbitration: A Reliable Dispute Management Model
The Abu Dhabi Global Market has a legal regime that is independent and based on English common law. The ADGM Arbitration Regulations, overriding the ADGM Arbitration Proceedings, which are based on the UNCITRAL Model Law, offer certainty and neutrality, as well as procedural fairness.
ADGM arbitration is common on matters relating to:
- Business and stock contracts
- Disputes in the financial services and investment
- Infrastructure and building projects
- Cross-border joint ventures
This framework mostly appeals to foreign players who want enforceable results in and outside the UAE.
Why ADGM Arbitration is Better than Court Litigation

ADGM arbitration provides an impartial platform with processes that are guided by a global best practice. Parties have a chance to select arbitrators who have expertise in their respective field of industry and an agreement on procedural rules that is appropriate to the dispute.
Arbitral Awards are Enforceable
ADGM awards on arbitration are binding in the UAE and internationally, through the New York Convention. This renders ADGM arbitration a convenient choice to use in cross-border disputes.
Discreet and Effective Processes
Arbitration proceedings are confidential as opposed to court litigation. The timelines may be thinned, and parties come to an agreement on disagreements without compromising business relations.
