With the UAE’s rise as both a global logistics and trade hub and a preferred holding-company domicile, Dubai has become a focal forum for the resolution of transport-related disputes. This session explores the region’s expanding role in resolving such disputes through arbitration and court proceedings, including the growing impact of sanctions compliance on performance, payment flows, and risk allocation.
Panelists will examine recent legal reforms, enforcement practices, and jurisdictional challenges within the UAE, and will discuss best practices on drafting transport contracts, conducting early case assessments, and deploying urgent remedies (such as vessel arrest, freezing orders, and disclosure orders) in transport disputes.
