Mediation and Arbitration in Kuwait

Arsan has been successfully resolving business and legal disputes by providing efficient ways of overcoming obstacles at any stage of a conflict.

​

Dispute resolution is your first, best alternative to having a dispute resolved through negotiation rather than through litigation instituted in courts of Kuwait. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) may be used to resolve many types of disputes.

​

You will still have the option of pursuing your case at the court if the resolution through ADR fails.

Most of our clients do appreciate a favorable settlement and find it, in most cases, more beneficial than litigation.

​

 What are the benefits of Mediation and ADR?

​

• Amicable dispute resolution;

• Beneficial shorter waiting periods;

• If the issue is resolved, no need to litigate;

• Once litigation has been commenced, no need to look back wondering why the specific option was not considered before;

• Concluding the matter in an early stage.

​

In non-binding mediation, a mediator attempts to help the parties discuss their interests and find a mutually acceptable resolution to their dispute. For example, negotiating with the employer in Kuwait on the client’s behalf.

​

Arbitration is quite similar to a trial: the parties present evidence to the arbitrator, who serves as the judge. If arbitration is binding, the court may review the final decision on a limited basis. If arbitration is non-binding, the decision can become final only if accepted by both parties.
