With growing economic cooperation between Russia and the Middle East, especially the UAE, it is more important than ever for Russian companies to have a reliable, neutral, and effective mechanism for resolving international disputes. What opportunities does the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC), which positions itself as the preferred arbitration hub for international disputes involving Russian companies, offer to Russian businesses seeking to protect their interests abroad? Why is DIAC a promising jurisdiction for resolving international disputes involving Russian parties? How does arbitration in the UAE and DIAC support businesses facing restricted access to Western jurisdictions? What support measures and legal guarantees are available to Russian companies in the UAE and the region? What are the advantages of DIAC’s updated arbitration rules? How are DIAC awards enforced in the Middle East and beyond, including with the support of the UAE’s judicial system? What are the key features of DIAC arbitration procedures, including opportunities for Russian-speaking parties and arbitrators?
