The International Arbitration Agreement is essential for businesses engaging in cross-border transactions within or through the UAE. It provides a secure legal framework for dispute resolution that combines the reliability of UAE law with international arbitration standards. The agreement is particularly relevant given the UAE's position as a major global business hub and its modern arbitration framework under Federal Law No. 6 of 2018. This document should be used when parties wish to establish a clear, enforceable mechanism for resolving international commercial disputes through arbitration, ensuring that any resulting award will be recognizable and enforceable both within the UAE and internationally under the New York Convention.
