The International Chamber of Commerce Qatar (ICC Qatar) in association with Squire Patton Boggs held a panel discussion on ‘Preparing for an Arbitration’, the fourth in ICC Qatar’s monthly ‘Arbitration Series’ as part of the 2017 programme of its Commission on Arbitration and ADR.
Qatar Chamber and ICC Qatar Chairman and the Executive Board Member of ICC International Secretariat Sheikh Khalifa bin Jassim Al Thani said that the topic discussed in the fourth seminar of ICC Qatar’s Arbitration Program 2017 is so important for the whole process.
It reviews the basic elements to successfully prepare for an arbitration case.
He assured that proper preparation is essential for a party to achieve favourable results in resolving a dispute using arbitration. Charbel Maakaron, Head of the ICC Qatar Commission on Arbitration and ADR and Managing Partner of the Doha office of Squire Patton Boggs, highlighted the three seminars hosted by the Commission during the year 2017, saying: “Panels discussed topics of Party Participation in an Arbitration, Drafting Arbitration Clauses and the Qatar’s New Arbitration Law”.
There are two panels discussions left, he added. “It was a very informative, interactive discussion about issues in preparing for arbitration. The questions and interest from the attendees certainly underscore the importance and relevance of this topic.”
Tarek Saad from Squire Patton Boggs provided an insight into the different phases and timelines during the buildup to an arbitration and provided practical advice on the groundwork required for a successful outcome.
