In Dubai, Delos puts the spotlight on arbitration efficiency in the MENA region in light of recent changes to the arbitration legislative and regulatory framework of Bahrain (2015), Jordan (2018), Qatar (2017), Saudi Arabia (2017) and the United Arab Emirates (2018). A panel of leading practitioners will explore to what extent these changes provide opportunities for achieving greater time and cost efficiency in arbitrations seated in the region, concerns surrounding ‘due process paranoia’ and the prospects for a Delos safe seat in the region.
