Introduction
Mediation is a rapidly developing area of law and legal practice in the MENA region. Amidst the continuous economic expansion and dynamic business landscape in the MENA region, policymakers and various stakeholders have recognised the benefits of mediation. There is an emerging pattern of legislative activity in support of mediation in the regions, accompanied by a growth in the mediation services offered by Courts and the establishment and development of mediation centres.
In this guide, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the mediation infrastructure across the MENA region, and the legal and practical approaches to key questions in the various jurisdictions. The guide has been compiled by expert lawyers from our firm in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Each of the editors and contributors will welcome feedback on the guide and will be delighted to discuss any queries concerning mediation.
