Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between arbitration and traditional litigation?
Arbitration is distinguished by speed, confidentiality, and flexibility in choosing arbitrators, while litigation follows formal court procedures and may take longer.
Can an arbitration award issued outside the Kingdom be enforced?
Yes — under certain conditions, foreign arbitration awards can be recognized and enforced within the Kingdom, and we assist you with this process.
